they turn the lights down low,
  in shadows hiding from the world,
  only coming out when it gets cold
    the seas part when they hit the floor,
  the voices carry on and out the door
  and everything you touch turns into gold
    like the angel you are laugh creating a lightness in my chest,
  your eyes they penetrate me,
  (your answer's always 'maybe')
  that's when I got up and left
    a beating heart and a microphone,
  a ticking clock in an empty home
  still tells of these times so long ago,
  and even though I've come so far, I know
  I've got so far to go and any day now I'll explode
    like the angel you are laugh creating a lightness in my chest,
  your eyes they penetrate me,
  (your answer's always 'maybe')
  that's when I got up and left
    each and everyday it leads into tomorrow
  and tomorrow brings one less day without you
  but don't wait up just leave the light on
  cause all the roads that I might take will all one day lead back to you
    like the angel you are laugh creating a lightness in my chest,
  your eyes they penetrate me,
  (and this is too amazing)
  that's when I got up and left
