Album: Homesick

Beautifully Still

Send me down my future
From your wheel of fire
Let me only fly
On your wings of desire
What happened to that ride
On your chariot of gold
It had only lasted minutes
From the centuries you hold
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
I want us to be closer
In fifty years or more
Getting young not older
Like we were here before
But your quarters are all sullied
Your alter boys asleep
Your priests have drunk the wine
You meant us all to keep
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
What happened to the reign
The reign of love?
Where have all the angels gone
Now the sun's not up above?
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
I'm not saying your dead
I just think you've changed
You lie so beautifully still
I can't see you move
