lyrics

stand and watch the falling rain
flashing lights and loud arcades
always slipping from my mind
here were the better times

break like bone china
wind on the water
gazing at ruins, covered in snow
falling like flowers
break like cheap mirrors
colder than crystal
leave me alone

autumn leaves, Trafalgar square
beneath the stars
I'll meet you there
dark twisted alleyways
the wind here, steals your heart away

break like bone china
wind on the water
gazing at ruins, covered in snow
falling like flowers
break like cheap mirrors
colder than crystal
leave me alone

riding European trains
dressed in camouflage and grey
riding out to echo beach
out of touch and out of reach
recorded orders, without reasons
the pages turning with the change of every season
fade and run
or fall apart
as we slept, I dreamt of Damascus

this is all you've ever done
fade away
when the rain comes
I'd follow you anywhere
but you lead me nowhere

this is all you've ever done
fade away
when the rain comes
I'll follow you anywhere
but you lead me nowhere
