Lyrics

How can I face the town with these bloodstains on my sleeve?
How can you say to me there's nothing left to believe?

Your sorrow like a searchlight
It's a trembling I can't tame
Desperation calls to me
She knows me now by name

From a distance it was larger than life
But in my arms it's fading
A distance so much larger than life
But in my arms it's falling away

And if I have to ask again I'll know the answer's no
My mind goes black to Sunday
I had no place else to go

It was far too forced and formal then
I needed you too much
You slipped into a sidecar
I was aching for your touch

From a distance it was larger than life
But in my arms it's fading
A distance so much larger than life
But in my arms it's falling away

And if you only live to kill what you cannot control
A dream won't die with dignity
To suffocate a soul
