Patrick Wolf - The Days lyrics

The days passing days

I see the steeple and trace to the spire
And the sunset deep in regret
Phoenix in final fire

And the time stops rush hour traffic slows
And my heart starts beating this dark
Through old flesh and cold bone

And I long to be carried on
Just once to be lifted strong
Out of the loneliness and the emptiness
Of the days the days
Passing days days

I remember I had your love once
Seized my body whole and in our first dance
I thought by chance god had matched my soul
But time brought it's travelling
Its distance and solitude
And in that travelling my self damaging
I took my love far, far from you

But don't you long to be carried on
Once more I could lift you strong
Out of the loneliness and the emptiness
Of the days passing days
Passing days days

Tell me have we gone too far?
Or did we get too close? You've no father
I've no son but when we come ghost
I promise I will meet you i will meet you
At the end of the days the days
Passing days

Won't you meet me at the end of the days?
