high in a great hall long ago
the prophet michelangelo
the sweetest torment did unfold
it's all too easy to remember
the reaching way you looked at me
it's not like i had not eyes to see
all the connecting imagery
i wonder if you still remember
chorus
how it used to be?
do you still believe
how we choose to feel
is anything but real?
not so much game as a defence
i've too much hubris for pretence
the distortions of the wish-i lens
will twist whatever you remember
but it seems clear now that i
raised up a pedestal so high
you could not breathe in so thin a sky
i realise more than remember
chorus
but the hand of god
and the hand of adam
tho you want so much
for the fingers to touch
it's never gonna happen
chorus
history bitches and it blames
but it teaches and it tames
we courted the spark and fanned the flames
i double dare you to remember
cuz we are poohsticks in the past
racing the rapids oh so fast
and i have built this bridge to last
so that i always will remember
chorus
