Torches

On clearer days I can see the lights From my bedroom door On windy nights I can smell the lake As it drifts to me from the shore The traffic lights silently change A thousand times a day But I'm still waiting Yeah, I'm still waiting What if my hand could block the sun Would we ever wake up? What if I turned back all these clocks Would that be time enough? I can't remember exactly When this longing began But I know it wasn't before the day You touched my hand Laugh and shout in blissful daze And numbers are exchanged I'm still waiting Yeah, I'm still waiting What if my hand could block the sun Would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks Would that be time enough? So put your hands where I can see them And shut your mouth, I know who you are In a world void of feeling Or heart I know that we are the torches in the dark Let's break this down Let's make this count Let's leave this one-horse town No better time than now Let's break this down Let's make this count Let's leave this one-horse town No better time than now The angels dance Like feathers float They're here to see And to be seen The clock strikes two The music slows And each one slowly Dons their wings Once outside they all pair off And hand in hand they leave But I'm still waiting Yeah, I'm still waiting What if my hand could block the sun Would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks Would that be time enough? Will we ever wake up?
