Eclipse (2024 Remix) Lyrics

In a field with other hearts

Lying, entwined, whispering songs

We waited for an eclipse that never came

The earth 'tween moon and sun

The rarest of events, begun

Two bodies drawing closer in the void

You saw in me, an energy

I saw you as gravity

You began to wrench me from myself

And days, months, and years they came

In our minds, but all the same

The heavens laid before us in ourselves

This time, my voice is singing

This time, my heart is singing

This time, I can't help thinking

Why can't I let go of me

But the heavens harboured clouds

Like thoughts never said aloud

We never saw earth's shadow pass before

For time and matters hid from view

My feelings, the truest you

Future overcast with ancient fears

In love, too late, fate decreed

That perigee turn to apogee

Two bodies would eventually drift away

And if time could bend magically

I'd shun heaven for the chance to be

With you again, and bust those clouds away

This time, my voice is breaking

This time, my heart is breaking

This time, I can't help thinking

Why, oh why…

Why am I…

Who was the sun, the moon, you or me

And damn to hell that earth between

No answers in the ether all around

For these moments in all time and space

With you then, now alone, I face

Trices too rare and brief to be retained

But the moon goes on, and we'll be dust

To light again on others' trust

The universe is blind to smaller things

And in those days, months, and years

That pass before you, me, and time disappear

The memories, like the light, will slip away

They will slip away
