Lyrics
Falling from the western selves
To find yourself alone again
Wondering where you have been
Your lonely voice
Calls across the starlit coast
Reaching out to be seen
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Cut beneath the surface screen
Of what we say and what we seem
Is there truth to be seen?
She keeps crying out your name
But her scream sounds the same
How fickle fate can be
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
Birds which scream for territory
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given time that is revealed
And there's a wasteland in your soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out an ideal
She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
She cries your name
Twelve times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?
