Lyrics

I can make it out like a distant memory
Sometimes the pull back down reaches out to take a hold on me
Oh, the pull back down tries to get a hold on me
I could steer this ship on a straight course
till I get to the end of my time
all of the while, in my head; 'this isn't right'

Those days are gone now
But you're holding on with all your might
You know everything must change
Oh, but for a brief, brief sight
As he flickers past
Dancing in the firelight

It would all make sense if I only knew
What lies out there, beyond, for me and you
what lies beyond for me and you

Do we need to be swearing allegiance?
Are we one step behind in the game?
Should I have known, or is it goodnight?

Those days are gone now
But you're holding on with all your might
You know everything must change
Oh, but for a brief, brief sight
As he flickers past
Dancing in the firelight

It never goes away, I can feel his light
In my memory everything can still be right
Inside my head, you still feel so right

I can still feel you sitting beside me,
Your energy still makes me smile,
All of the while I can feel you're just out of reach

Those days are gone now
But you're holding on with all your might
You know everything must change
Oh, but for a brief, brief sight
As he flickers past
Dancing in the firelight
