Sitting in the shadows and the evening oscillating Feeling light and feeling like it's a-gonna change Hoping for a moment for some gentle consolation Waiting at the station where the treats are out of range
She's sitting in a carriage being jostled by the motion Overhearing conversation, the grinding of the steel Scenes fly past the curtains that the darkness paints uncertain And memories are meaningless, her motives are concealed
Through countrysides and mountains and the village by the ocean Where the stranger's waiting for her in the plushness of his car Winding and rewinding, pushing all directions Till the limit of implosions, which is never very far
All I ever wanted to see Was just invisible to me
Out there in the distance the horizon meets resistance The summer falls down drunken on the longest of the days Rushing past the ruins of the churches and the Porsches Reflected in the mirrors and the echoes in the haze
He drums impatient fingers on the chrome and on the leather Running through the reasons in the corners of his mind Sifting tiny diamonds on his shaky mental islands Where he often claims asylum from the structures left behind
All I ever wanted to see Was just invisible to me
The wind blows through the headstones and the maelstrom's making music The melody reminds us the girl's still far away Asleep in her compartment, dreaming of the darkness As the train speeds on the darkness to the approaching day
All I ever wanted to see Was just invisible to me
