The Days Lyrics

The Days...Passing Days...

I see the steeple and
Trace to the Spire
And the sun set
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

of some 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 bought its traveling
its distance and solitude
and in that traveling
My self damaging
I took my love
Far Far from you

But now don’t you
still 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
when we come-ghosts
I promise, I will meet you
I will meet you

At the end of The Days...The Days.

Pass some (or passing) days...

Won't you meet me at the end of The Days?

A beautiful song, a real classy one too...strings have a real old fashioned beauty to them that's hard to explain...

Pretty self evident, longing for the better days, the better times with the person they love....GREAT SONG.

Lyrics are also tragically wrong/inaccurate in many places...if I could copy/paste the lyrics I would fix them, but since this site is stupid and doesn't let me do what 98% of websites do, I can't/won't fix them...

Never mind, here is the correct lyrics as far as I can tell, most taken from official site, although even some of that is missing some words he sings which I've included below:
