The cock crew in the morning
I was awake and you were still
Paradise was taken I heard the trains
You called out numbers in your sleep
Back behind the station
The door was locked The one way in
Stayed most days Long as I could
Life moved slowly through the afternoons

Never one of us
Always someone else
Sleeping in the corner
Dreaming as the cars went by

Talking to myself
Listening for the sound of your voice
Following footsteps
In the middle of the street
Skipping like a stone

Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets
Attract me to you
Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets
Attract me too

The years flew without warning
The days were like a rush You said it yourself
Remember why you came and what you did
No one asks or wonders where it all goes
Back behind the curtains
The pictures on the wall
Stayed most nights Long as I could
Left later in the early hours

Only one or two
On a quiet night
Sitting in the corner
Wishing as the cars went by

Talking about myself
Listening to the sound of your voice
Counting footsteps
From the middle of the street
Stepping like a stone

Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets
Attract me to you
Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets
Attract me too

Never one of us
Always someone else
Standing on the corner
Watching as the cars go by

Talking to myself
Listening for the sound of your voice
Following footsteps
In the middle of the street
Skipping like a stone

Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets
Attract me to you
Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets
Attract me too
