The Last of the Independent Romantics - The Night Flight Orchestra

She waited there at the edge of town

Her hair in a mess and a silken gown

We’d spent a year planning our escape

And sworn that we’d be the first to not look down, never down

She looked at me like we never had met

Her eyes were hope with a slight regret

Her hand in mine was shivering cold

But I felt her strength as she said: I won’t look down, never down

Space beyond measure

Our souls entwined, and standing on the edge

Lord, how I’d missed her

And the static of her love inside my head

I never needed those remnants of a life we left behind

But when I saw her, I knew she was approaching the divine

And as we took the leap, she locked her starry gaze with mine

And with her eyes she showed me all my dreams without a sound

As our hearts went swirling giving in to gravity

She said: Not even death will ever be the end of you and me

Ain’t it peculiar the strangest things can turn your life around

Her radiation invisible like love that comes unbound

And as we took the leap, she locked her starry gaze with mine

And with her eyes she showed me all my dreams without a sound

As our hearts went swirling giving in to gravity

She said: Not even death will ever be the end of you and I

Don’t speak, I know you’re there

The calm of your prescence, the weight of your stare

I’ve felt your suffering

Your dreams taking flight in, the absence of wings

At last we’re all alone

We’ll carry each other into the unknown

Stay close, illuminate

The part of me the dark has yet to take

Don’t you worry 'bout the future

Times like these weren’t meant to last

But I’ll cherish you forever and this moment is eternal

Just like everything must pass
