After You Came Lyrics
Since it began I got one dream and really it's my only blessing:
If I can come through then so can you and you will find there's no regretting.
Things that you want from your life's font will never let your spirit roam,
Come back to Earth for what it's worth for you've been dreaming of a ceiling not a home.
I've been doing my best:
What else can I do?
Is there something I've missed
That will help me through?
I have reached the top of my wall
And all I've found is another way to fall.
For some short time for a while you and I were joined to eternity,
Then we split in two, back to me and you, like the rain
Rising from the sea,
Rising from the sea.
But all can see what we shall be, but knowing's really not controlling.
With time, perhaps, I'll pass the traps and find some peace and understanding.
After you'd come and while you're gone you leave me guessing — it's depressing,
Never to know the way to go to find some time along a little less pressing.
So you just have to laugh
When it hurts so much.
You're so far away
And so hard to touch.
I have reached the top of my wall
And all I've found is another way to fall.

Supposedly, Graeme wrote this about his divorce/breakup he was going thru. The song ROX!! All/most of the guys trade vocals on this one with 4 or 5 part harmonies on parts of it. Did I mention that it ROX?!?!
@Digi-G, supposedly he started an affair with his soon to be second wife while still married in retaliation for his first wife's affair with an actor, though it hasn't been confirmed.

The lyrics seem to refer to a partner who's preoccupied with career concerns, ambitions, or some such thing, and who is thus unavailable. The firs chorus also seems to suggest that this unavailable partner may be depressed because of these preoccupations. And they do seem to be a matter of career--dreaming of a ceiling, not a home.
