Hope (live) Lyrics

Hope (live) lyrics

[Anathema Cover]



When you look at me

From your own century

I may seem to be

Strange archeology

But when the winds blow

From this direction

You may sense me there

In your reflection

I think I feel you

But I will never know

As the swallows leave

And the children grow



I wanted to live forever

The same is you will too

I wanted to live forever

And everybody knew



When I caught you there

In tomorrows mirror

I thought felt you

Jump out of my skin

Throwing oil into

My blazing memories

Filling empty footsteps

I was standing in



I wanted to live forever

The same as you will too

I wanted to live forever

And everybody knew



As the falling rain

Of the northern jungle

Hanging droplets on the leaves

Bombards my brain

I hear you

Across the room

A sea of daffodils spring into bloom

You are the mist

The frost across my window pane

And again



She moves her body

And her whispers weave

And the world spins

And tells me that I'll never want to leave



As I think of you

From this dark century

I will always be

With generosity

That we both may share

The hope in hearing

That we're not just

Spirits disappearing
