Dead Can Dance - The Captive Heart Lyrics

The old clock is ticking nowMarks the space between usYour memory enshrouds my heartFor I am held a captiveSometimes my soul desiresTo take leave of this old worldTo spread these golden wings and flyTo the city of angelsBut then if I close my eyesI can see you standing thereYour face in permanence smilesYour lips a chaliceSeems like I've loved you all my lifeNever thought I'd find youOne day the muse may lend these words wingsSo I can touch youuBt hey!Don't worry if the feelings not strong for youI have lived my life in accordanceTo the windfalls of passionThough I know what it meansTo be loved and then forgottenI have seen too many menDriven insane by their distractions
