Ends of the Earth

Leaving our lives behind, losing all our sense of time

So the way we think we came is not what brought us

Moving in to starry space, finding nothing but a face

A shining waste, crossing nowhere, but still it brought us

It won't take a minute dear, to find out we were wrong

Get your things it's time we were gone

The union and the state we found

Will never make a son

And he'll never ask us why, or where he's from

It's a hard thing to call, when you know how hard the fall

But some part of me wishes you stall, to keep me waiting

I'd run through the empty gates, climb the tower and curse the fate

Cos when you land, it's a mistake, we keep making

I can't wait a minute dear, does it matter what we do?

Tell me you don't want to see me soon

Wishes nose about out there, like airplaces on the ground

And I probably won't stay blue when you touch down

Clockwatch days that never end, cups of coffee filled and spent

Counted out to pay the rent, and billed by the hour

Though so ready to begin, this awful weight has done us in

And now the taste in my mouth has made time sour

It just takes a minute dear for a feeling bound to fade

I've got no future country I can claim

The stranger in the picture here, won't recognise my name

Cos he doesn't know what number flight he's taking
