Lyrics

Retreat

The sky is burning as the ocean rises to the sun
The creeping fog comes like a smoking gun
The moonlight opens on a quiet street
In time these thoughts will beat a swift retreat

Now you see me, now you don?t
First you will and then you won?t
Now you see me, now you don?t

The bed?s still warm from where my overburdened body lay
The past drew life from me that?s gone today
Those hands reach out but I don?t feel their touch
My heart?s receded for it?s all too much

Now you see me, now you don?t
First you will and then you won?t
Now you see me, now you don?t

The road is flowing but the dark horizon?s standing still
The day dawns grey with a familiar chill
The ferry tears the ocean open wide
Another life waits on the other side

Now you see me, now you don?t
First you will and then you won?t
Now you see me, now you don?t
