Archaic Smile lyrics

On a starless night
the angels were dancing
around with their halos of smoke

It was time for life
it was time for the old songs
to die in a beautiful light

The empty sighs
in a hopeful good-bye
will I see you again?

Through the line
and the air
something passed between us there
in another time
you will find
I will be there

Take the distance
take the absence
taking me with your archaic smile
I will reach you
and I will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes.

Invisible queen
turning the weight into lightness
with invisible wings

I have seen
the sun rising for me
new sky open for me

Through the line
and the air
something passed between us there
in another time
you will find
I will be there

Take the distance
take the absence
take a clean skin and a brand new sky
I will reach you
and I will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes.

I'll meet you there by the thorns at noon
bring a favorite story or two
and when we leave here
take this letter
and always pray the dream will never fade..

Take the distance
take the absence
taking me with your archaic smile
I will reach you
and Ii will keep you
I will be there when you open you eyes.
