The coming of the winter broke apart the glass,
The image which I held so dear.
The river ran away from me and it ran away too fast,
And I'd never seen a sky less clear.
And love's become a beauty in a faded yellow gown,
Who's lost the keys to open the door.
So I'll burn the house, I'll cast around to find something to break it down,
And prove that there is so much more.
So I'd ask you to believe me
And to see me
For what we are.
And I'd ask you to come with me
To a city where
The windows are stars,
And we will never be too far.
Well, God is just a name, and words of love a prayer,
For everything to fall into line.
And I see the cracks appearing, but I still just sit and stare,
Thinking all that water into wine.
When you think about your life, my love, from day to lingering day,
Do any colours come to mind?
The fragile glow of a train at night, or a flat, prosaic grey?
The gold of let's leave it all behind?
So I'd ask you to believe me
And to see me
For what we are.
And I'd ask you to come with me
To a city where
The windows are stars,
And we will never be too far.
But wait,
Just hold on,
'Cause we'll be gone
Before long.
And the streets
Will be
As they were meant
To be.
And at last we'll find a place,
Where at last we'll know some grace.
So I'd ask you to believe me
And to see me
For what we are.
And I'd ask you to come with me
To a city where
The windows are stars.
