  • I fall, in the cutting room
    Straight to the fall, before the film is through
    Today in my head, that field of reason why
    Come a little closer, honey
    And touch the fire
    How long do I have here with you?
    The flowers that once were a new
    Shadows

    Heaven waits, in the darkness of a room
    And the shaking at the gates,
    From here to Timbuktu
    Cold front rolls in, like a black balloon
    And it sinks into your soul
    And you tell it what you knew

    How long do I have here with you?
    How long do I have here with you?
    How long?
    The flowers that once were anew
    Are shadows

    The mystery of the stars
    That fell from your eyes
    Watch it as it burns
    Like I'm sitting on fire
    That mountain is tall
    And you know you'll have to climb
    Put your arms around me
    And let's go for a ride

    How long do I have here with you?
    How long do I have here with you?
    How long?
    How long?
