The light is shining from my eyes across the pale green sea It plays a memory upon which all things came to be Vivid, dancing images on canvases of bone For all my sins of seeing, I have done all but atone Alone in the eye of the storm Alone Come sit with me, I found the perfect place And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late I distantly remember a painting of The countryside in August, a giant cloud The children in the mirror, I know I once knew their names They all are different ages, but they all look just the same They're running down a path made by my mother as a child Forgetting is remembering, remember me and smile Alone in the eye of the storm Alone Come sit with me, I found the perfect place And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late It's beautiful, that painting, makes me sad Like days that I remember but never had I hold you like I think I should have then Maybe we could start all over, live again? So sit with me, I found the perfect place And tonight's the perfect moment to stay out late I think it's time to go now, won't you come? We step into that painting, and we're gone
