I thought I sensed a whiff of former life Through the tingling of my fingertips Through the tingling of my fingertips.                     Admiring the silhouette of your posture                     Letting my eyes linger on your face                     Letting my mind drift to your words. I feel the breeze calling me to greater heights That my eyes really cannot see That my ears really cannot hear.                     I see the leaves waving me good-bye                     To the life that I do not live                     To the moments oh, that I let go. Chorus: Slowly falls the sombre light when the sun offers Its adieu to this side of humanity. And I dare wait no longer No, I dare waste no longer I dare wait no longer! To live...to live....to live.....oh, to live..... I hear the cadence of arpeggiated chords Being played on a guitar Letting it lift me so far away.                     And I realise I'd rather be the fool                     Who dabbles in amusing tales                     Than the sage who pretends. I feel the magic being born when you're around You're weaving butterflies of love Carrying my silhouette away.                     I touch the candles placed within my heart                     You're the one lighting up my core                     And my wings will not melt away.....

Silhouette
I thought I sensed a whiff of former life Through the tingling of my fingertips Through the tingling of my fingertips.                     Admiring the silhouette of your posture                     Letting my eyes linger on your face                     Letting my mind drift to your words. I feel the breeze calling me to greater heights That my eyes really cannot see That my ears really cannot hear.                     I see the leaves waving me good-bye                     To the life that I do not live                     To the moments oh, that I let go. Chorus: Slowly falls the sombre light when the sun offers Its adieu to this side of humanity. And I dare wait no longer No, I dare waste no longer I dare wait no longer! To live...to live....to live.....oh, to live..... I hear the cadence of arpeggiated chords Being played on a guitar Letting it lift me so far away.                     And I realise I'd rather be the fool                     Who dabbles in amusing tales                     Than the sage who pretends. I feel the magic being born when you're around You're weaving butterflies of love Carrying my silhouette away.                     I touch the candles placed within my heart                     You're the one lighting up my core                     And my wings will not melt away.....
