I have heard this tale a thousand times
All those mornings before dawn
We would whisper and wait for the sunrise
She saw me when it left without a sound
When her heart came crashing down
A thousand nights on marble balconies
Shadows fly into the sea
A thousand nights, none are the same
Sent to take my breath away
Do you see the way she watches you
With your back against the wall?
There was rain
You started to break her
There's a difference between wanting to live out a dream
And wanting to live in one
A thousand nights on marble balconies
Shadows fly into the sea
A thousand nights, none are the same
Sent to take my breath away
I remember how I found you
How I thought of you those days
I will let you walk away
I will watch you walk away
I have heard the way this story ends
I've heard them tell it in the streets
We would listen and wait for the sunset
You saw me when it left without a sound
When the stars rose all around
I remember how you found me
How you stood by me these days
We've found somewhere to hide
But we'll keep running tonight
Why not scream for one more day?
Why not race into the fray?
Don't you let this slip away into the darkness
I won't let this slip away
I won't let this slip away
I can't let this slip away
Into the darkness
Away
