lyrics

he wakes up to another bed
with another’s stories to fill his head
and he wonders if darkness is a mirror
‘cause language says just what language wants
and the darkness begs with its darkest charms
and the morning is cool and clear

it’s a wonder that I’m here

he’s got wings of steel
and a heart of fire
he’s got time to think now
it makes him tired
he’s got time to see himself again
and the Berlin wall runs
right through his dreams
‘cause he touched it once
at its broken seams
couldn’t keep him out or keep him in

it’s a wonder to just begin
a thousand miles now
closing in

he’s got stories written of coming home
he’s got stories written that aren’t his own
he’s got everything he used to need
but it’s back to work and it’s back to back
and he won’t need Monday to tell him that
but the page is slow to turn
he fears the speed

it’s a wonder that I bleed
a thousand miles now
left to grieve

he wakes up to the same old bed
with the same old stories to fill his head
couldn’t keep him out or keep him back
he’s got wings of steel and a heart of fire
there’s no time to think now
it makes him tired
there’s no time to see himself like that

it’s a wonder that I’m sad
a thousand miles now
to coming back

it’s a wonder that I’m sad
a thousand miles now
