Where Are They Now
(专辑： Last Days Of The Century - 1988)
I
sent my crack divisions through the
early morning mist When they fell on your positions you were powerless to resist Encircling and probing for the
weakness in your line By night you were surrounded; your territory mine I
called for your surrender; this you swore you would not do So I
stormed the
very fortress, you thought could shelter you I
held you then upon your knees and turned to give my thanks To the
regiments assembled in their ranks [Chorus:] Where are they now? Where are they now? I
raised you to your feet, with your hand inside my own We set off upon a
journey, each together, each alone In the
days that followed oh our lives did overlap I
learned the
contours of your body like the
roads upon a
map You sweetened every evening, I
savoured every day Just when I
was certain it would always be this way You slipped beyond the
reach of my outstretched fingertips With all the
kisses we'd placed upon your lips [Chorus] Oh close. You're close Someone, come shine a
light Oh near. So near But just out of sight I
went in search of alchemy to resurrect the
dead Sent my spies to fathom out the
secrets in your head They said they heard your laughter Spinning through the
summer night In the
company of strangers And your eyes were wild and bright Though I
grew reclusive and my days became withdrawn I
held the
banner of our love, now tattered and forlorn And swore that it would one day fly above us once again To do this, I
had my reasons then [Chorus] Close. You're close Once again, come shine a
light Oh near. So near But just out of sight Perhaps there are some passions that are tempered by the
years You reach accommodation, the
intensity recedes Some of this occurred to me the
time I
saw you last Your face familiar in a
way. Your voice out of the
past Every gamut of emotion shared from tenderness to rage Fell away between us in the
turning of that page It seemed like only yesterday we swore that we'd be true Two innocents believing that they knew [Chorus]
