Version 2 of the lyrics

Now the words had all been spoken

Now, the words had all been spoken,

And somehow the feeling still wasn't right

And somehow the feeling still wasn't right.

And still we continued on through the night

And still we continued on through the night.

Tracing our steps from the beginning,

Tracing our steps from the beginning

Until they vanished into the air.

Until they vanished into the air

Trying to understand how our lives had led us there.

Trying to understand how our lives has led us there

((Looking hard)) into your eyes,

Looking hard into your eyes

There was nobody I'd ever known.

There was nobody I'd ever known

((Such an empty surprise,))

Such an empty surprise to feel so alone

((To feel so alone.))

Now for me some words come easy

Now for me some words come easy,

But I know that they don't mean that much

But I know that they don't mean that much.

Compared with the things that are said

Compared with the things,

When lovers touch

That are said when lovers touch.

You never knew what I loved in you

You never knew what I loved in you.

I don't know what you loved in me

I don't know what you loved in me.

Maybe the picture of somebody

Maybe the picture of somebody,

You were hoping I might be

You were hoping I might be.

Awake again I can't pretend and I know I'm alone

((Awake again, I can't pretend,))

And close to the end of the feeling we've known

((And I know I'm alone,))

((And close to the end,))

How long have I been sleeping

((Of the feeling we've known.))

How long have I been drifting alone through the night

((How long have I been sleeping?))

How long have I been dreaming I could make it right

((How long have I been drifting,))

If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might

((Alone through the night?))

To be the one you need

((How long have I been dreaming,))

((I could make it right,))

Awake again I can't pretend and I know I'm alone

((If I closed my eyes,))

And close to the end of the feeling we've known

((And tried with all my might,))

((To be the one you need?))

How long have I been sleeping

How long have I been drifting alone through the night

[Instrumental break.]

How long have I been running for that morning flight

Through the whispered promises and the changing light

((Awake again, I can't pretend,))

Of the bed where we both lie late for the sky

And I know I'm alone,

((And close to the end,))

((Of the feeling we've known.))

((How long have I been sleeping?))

((How long have I been drifting,))

((Alone through the night?))

(((How long have I been running,))

((For that morning flight,))

((Through the whispered promises,))

((And the changing light,))

((Of the bed where we both lie?))

((Late for the sky.))
