lyrics

All those Sainted Martyrs out there
standing in the rain
they hear that old song playing
and they start to move again

Is it tomorrow?
Or is tomorrow today?
The whistle blows, but I don't hear it
I'm leaving anyway

So I came and I saw and I went again
I couldn't hang on and be myself
Heaven busted open just to see her smile
it was the greatest thing to happen in a good long while
but when I open my eyes I cannot see it
I cannot feel it, I can't believe it
it takes a lot of pressure just to form a pearl
a little bit of magic in a cold, dark world

Midnight in the garden
under the starless sky
I'd never seen anyone
like her before in my life
the sadness in her eyes
when she looked back at me
I knew just what she had to say
before she had a chance to speak

And it goes on and on and on and on
the same old story in a brand new song
and I lived and I died and I lived again
but who should I say I've been since then
they came far and wide to sing her praise
transluscent fields of dust and haze
a little bit of magic in a cold, dark world
every mother's son wants to dive for a pearl
