lyrics

We took our time
We were walking a thin line
Through fields of flowers
All gold in the morning
The clocktower rings
From a balcony somebody sings
And I've heard this song before

Through fallow fields
We felt our way
The difference between night and day
Never felt so real
The clocktower rings
From a balcony somebody sings
And I've heard it all before

In the grey of gridlock
I studied your face
I know we cannot replace
All that talk of better days
The clocktower rings
From a balcony somebody sings
And I've heard this song before

I've been alive
Now, for 35 years
I'm on the long dive down
To find the bottom of this well of tears
The clocktower rings
From a balcony somebody sings
And I've heard it all before
