Love Among the Ruins

La la la, la la la, la la la la, the sky was falling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, Heaven was calling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, when danger crashes
La la la, la la la, la la la la, rose from the ashes

Like two statues hidden inside ancient rock
We were praying for the secrets to unlock
And when the sun had turned its back on us, oooh
In the dark, our love kept track of us, oooh
Pushed together by the lack of love, oooh oooh, run, run, run, run, run

La la la, la la la, la la la la, the sky was falling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, Heaven was calling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, when danger crashes
La la la, la la la, la la la la, rose from the ashes

We held each other tightly through our Hell of dreams
I still hear the never-endig echo of those screams
But it's a life not made for reliving, it's
A life that makes your soul forgiving, we
Sealed our bond from the beginning, oooh oooh, run, run, run, run, run

Aching, affection
Vulnerable protection
Falling, captured
Crawling, rapture

La la la, la la la, la la la la, the sky was falling
La la la, la la la, la la la la, Heaven was calling
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la, way
La, la

I'd like to know what makes you stay
While your eyes still search for escape
You think that I don't feel the cold, baby
But I wait, while confessions unfold

You'll never make a living from reading minds
Or from getting your direction from exit signs
Look into your heart and you won't find me there

You won't find me where you hide, baby
And that makes us a matter of time
Like trees exposed by fall, baby
Time reveals it all

You'll never make a living from reading minds
Or from getting your direction from exit signs
Look into your heart and you won't find me there

Oooooooh...

Tell me you want to do everything
But you're stuck up to your knees
And I'm less likely pushed forward
By ambition than a breeze

But there's a flame that must be fanned, baby
And it appears as a beckoning hand

Don't think 'cause you're not talking, you're being kind
You've been getting your direction from exit signs
Look into your heart and you won't find me there

You won't find me
Oooh, there
You won't find, you won't find
You won't find me there, oooh
You won't find, you won't find
You won't find me there

Whoa

I saw a big star running from me
A world from a record on my bed
Turn the tables on me
What would happen if I fell
To the tune of a dreamer
To the tune of my heart

Big star running from me
I saw a world out sunning on my head
Turn the tables on me now
I would fall from Heaven and ring your bell
Baby, catch me
In the middle of a lie

The boys are out tonight
Yeah, the boys are out tonight
The big shots singin' from me
I saw a world out sunning on my head
Pity my heart signals
Center of a storm inside my head

Center of my
Center of my heart
Center of my
Out of time simple mind

From the moon out my window
A wink and a blink and a nod
Had a wish on a star, but
Now it's, now it's falling, now it's falling for me

The boys are out tonight
Yeah, the boys are out tonight
Big skies above me
Signal in my horoscope, it said

Never heed a caution
Never fought a lover
Never cross a street alone
In the middle

The middle of a signal red
Middle of a drinker's heart
Middle of a big parade
A signal in my horoscope

Even with my eyes closed
Funny, how I know
It's harder, it's harder now
Young girl
In my young girl days
Thinking I could live for always

But like an ocean tide
I'm drawn back inside
And I know

Seasons pass
Like sand inside a glass
And nothing, nothing returns
Standing with the friends I've made
I'll race them to the grave
Well, who won, who won the extra days?

But like an ocean tide
I'm drawn back inside
Like an ocean tide
Drawn back inside
And I know

When you take away the years toll
On the waters wide, shallow high and low
In the autumn sky
Happy to know I'm going home

Even with my eyes closed
Funny, how I know
It's finally, has it finally begun?

An ocean tide (whoa)
I'm drawn back inside
But like an ocean tide (whoa)
I'm drawn back inside
And I know

And I know
And I know

Oooooh...

Something was pulling me
Without knowing what was leading me on
Your shining light, your shining light
In my darkest hour, the only way to bring the dawn
Was your shining light, your shining light
But you're unaware your shining light is even on

Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise
And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
Free me from my history, show me where to draw the line
By lighting up the mystery, and you don't even know that it shines

I'm not worried now about flying too close to the sun
Your shining light, your shining light
When December skies are cold
Well, you know I will always run
To your shining light, your shining light
But you're unaware your shining light is even on

Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise
And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
Free me from my history, show me where to draw the line
By lighting up the mystery, and you don't even know that it shines

I won't abuse it, so please just let it glow behind your smile
Let me use it, let me feel the warmth like a little child

Who understands your glance, though it takes me by surprise
And I take a chance and I see it all through your eyes
It's your shining light, from my history, and it pulls me out of my mind
It's your shining light, you don't even know that it shines (by lighting up the mystery)

It's your shining, it's your shining light
It's your shining light, oooooh
It's your shining, it's your shining light
It's your shining light, you don't even know that it shines

It's your shining, it's your shining light
It's your shining light, oooooh
It's your shining, it's your shining light
It's your shining light, you don't even know that it shines

An August day in the hills of Spain
A pair of children emerged from a cave
The strangest sight there, alone, they stood
With skin of green and words no one had heard

The girl was stronger, the boy was weak
With her new mother, she learned to speak
And wove a tale of a dying sun
They left for darkness, a dark world come undone

They travelled so far
So far
Believing they came from a star

Oooooh
Oooooh

She fell through life
Through time
Through parallel lives

The men of science, the men of fame
The men of letters tried to explain
Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time
To make her think she'd fallen, fallen from her sky

She fell through life
Through time
Through parallel lives

A whirlwind spun them all alone
Took them from their twilight home
Believing they came from a star

Oooooh...
Oooooh...
