"So Nearly" lyrics

We nearly had a walk in a place and time
Where the colours of the world did call in rhyme
We almost had a door to fall inside

So nearly, so nearly
But I did wait up too long

I was crawling down the river since the day that I went off
Sinning on a meaning of wrong
I was pacing through the dark and when I looked up you were gone

They said that we light up together
On the street I'd walk you for ever and ever
Right until the end did meet us there

So nearly, so nearly
But I did wait up too long

I was crawling down the river since the day that I went off
Sinning on a meaning of wrong
I was pacing through the dark and when I looked up you were gone

The culling of the scene just weeps at the green
Till it sears me
The colour sounds a beast of me
Until it's ripping down clear to the lean
So nearly
The cover runs its fear in me

The fires sunned the embers of the chaos of the deep
So nearly
A seance of a scene
And it came in to the watching of the pyres of the sweet
So nearly
The sighing of a broken dream
