Paroles de Magic Lantern
The light is shining from my eyes across the pale green seaIt plays a memory upon which all things came to be
Vivid, dancing images on canvases of bone
For all my sins of seeing, I have done all but atone
Alone in the eye of the storm
Alone
Come sit with me, I found the perfect place
And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late
I distantly remember a painting of
The countryside in August, a giant cloud
The children in the mirror, I know I once knew their names
They all are different ages, but they all look just the same
They're running down a path made by my mother as a child
Forgetting is remembering, remember me and smile
Alone in the eye of the storm
Alone
Come sit with me, I found the perfect place
And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late
It's beautiful, that painting, makes me sad
Like days that I remember but never had
And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late
I think it's time to go now, won't you come?
We step into that painting, and we're gone
Come sit with me, I found the perfect place
And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late
I distantly remember a painting of
The countryside in August, a giant cloud
The children in the mirror, I know I once knew their names
They all are different ages, but they all look just the same
They're running down a path made by my mother as a child
Forgetting is remembering, remember me and smile
Alone in the eye of the storm
Alone
Come sit with me, I found the perfect place
And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late
It's beautiful, that painting, makes me sad
Like days that I remember but never had
And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late
I think it's time to go now, won't you come?
We step into that painting, and we're gone
