lyrics

From The Steeples And The Towers
Nightbirds Spiral Earthbound
Swaying Power Lines Overhead
All Is Ending Silently
Love Can Deceive

Heavy Hearts Like Chapel Bells
Echo Round This Lakeside
Spoken Words Are Jagged Walls
They Mark The Edge Of Reason
The End Of Tenderness

In The Morning With The Rain
Came Those Cool North Breezes
Wheels They Turn Around The Hours
Of This Sunbaked Heartbreak
Southern Town

Looks Towards The Moonlit Sky
Sleeping Cats On Rooftops
As The Night Train Trundles By
Rolling Into Snow Peaked Mountains High

Seems We've Travelled A Thousand Miles
Crossing Barren Frontiers
But Our Hearts Are Still Alive
So Let's Be Glad We've Shared Love
And Let Our Eyes Run Dry

In The Morning With The Rain
Came Those Cool North Breezes
Wheels They Turn Around The Hours
Of This Sunbaked Heartbreak
Southern Town
