Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go Watching from both sides, these clock towers burning up I lost my time here, I lost my patience with it all We lost faith, in the arms of love Where you been hiding lately Where you been hiding from the news? Because we've been fighting lately We've been fighting with the wolves With the wolves Red tongues and hands Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go Watching from both sides, these towers been tumbling down I lost my mind here, I lost my patience with the Lord We lost faith, oh in the arms of love Where you been hiding lately Where you been hiding from the news? Because we've been fighting lately We've been fighting with the wolves With the wolves Red tongues and hands We lost faith, in the arms of love (Grazie a pimsou per questo testo)
