There's not a closing bell There's just an awkward glance The lightning's a fairy tale It's really a quiet dance And we cut the tethered earth And float in the empty sky And dance till the daylight hurts And there's nothing left but goodbye This is the coming of a new kind of love That breaks your heart for good It's the beginning of the end of your life But you would never know You are the answer to a question I asked In another life If it's the coming of a new kind of love Why am I terrified? Without you I'm just a man No longer an ancient god A statue that's turned to sand A stick not a lightning rod Still you just ache in me A fever that will not leave The sap of a dying tree The blade that I can't retrieve This is the coming of a new kind of love That breaks your heart for good It's the beginning of the end of your life But you would never know You are the answer to a question I asked In another life If it's the coming of a new kind of love Why am I terrified?
