Chance 03:49
From nowhere your soul smiles I see sky along the treetops Beckoning voices pull me along Yet cries pierce the sun never cries Temptation seems like a saviour Enticing away from the waiting Chance was a ship, a luxury Swift upon the bluish skies Clouds come rushing, raining in the heat The falling rhythm of a single clock Ecstasy melts my breathing now Night walks into sadness After the explosion of paradise ends Chance was a ship, a luxury Swift upon the bluish skies Clouds come rushing, raining in the heat The falling rhythm of a single clock Ecstasy melts my breathing now Night walks into sadness After the explosion of paradise ends Something echoes from a long time ago Something echoes from a long time ago Chance was a ship, a luxury Swift upon the bluish skies

When the smoke clears You’ll see yellow roses thrown over the dead And I’ll save one for you Saviour, oh my saviour let go of me, let go of me As your breath in the cold air As the snow on the rooftops As the fur on your back Saviour, oh my saviour let go of me, let go of me A nervous smile As you see the yellow roses I’ll save one for you Saviour, oh my saviour let go of me, let go of me

If the world’s an oyster It has no pearl When man has no secret He feels alone If the last few minutes were anything to go by I’ll be happy until the day I die If the world’s still here In a million years When man has no secrets He’ll break the mirror If the last few minutes were anything to go by I’ll be happy until the day I die Will the world’s last person Still believe in truth? He’ll have all the secrets To share with no-one else If the last few minutes were anything to go by I’ll be happy until the day I die
