Second Sight Lyrics

In twilight's last gleaming

As I stood alone

The rain felt soft and warm

In my moment of weakness

Was I reaching for a past

That maybe I should have left alone

But now I'm here my nerve has gone

It's faded with the light

Like these flowers I've bought you

My courage wilted with the night

But I've got to find a way

I can't stand these empty days

Maybe I should write

Maybe I should phone

What the hell is wrong with me

She's waiting there alone

Minutes seemed like hours

I was soaking to the skin

But I couldn't find a reason

Why you should let me in

If I had one wish

Right now its second sight

And I could see you in my arms tonight

If I had one wish

Right now a second bite

And I could wrap you in my arms tonight

In my arms tonight

We judge ourselves by what we win and gain

Feeding our success on other people's loss and pain

Sweep beneath the carpet all our fears and our shame

And point the finger at others for the failures and the blame

If I could only find a way

I can't stand these empty days

If I'd have said all this

Would anything have changed

Would I still be standing here

With these flowers in the rain

And these minutes seem like hours

I'm soaking to the skin

But I can't find a reason

Why you should let me in

If I had one wish

Right now its second sight

And I could see you in my arms tonight

If I had one wish

Right now a second bite

And I could wrap you in my arms tonight

If I had one wish

If I had one wish

If I had one wish

If I had one wish
