Aloft (How Far Will This Go)
HOW FAR WILL THIS GO
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND US
HOW FAR WILL THIS GO
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND US
HOW FAR WILL THIS GO
LEAVING THIS WORLD
​
THESE BRIGHT STARS
HOW DIM THEY SEEM
WHICH LIGHT YOUR MASK
SO FAIR AND SO PURE
THE SWEET, THE SWEET VOYEUR
SOARING HIGH BETWEEN YOUR BREATHS
WITHIN YOUR EYES A SWEET UNREST
THE COLDEST WIND OPENS THE SAILS
LEFT ALONE WITH TILTED SCALES
​
HOW FAR WILL THIS GO
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND US
HOW FAR WILL THIS GO
LEAVING THIS WORLD
​
OH, THE SPLENDOUR OF THIS VIEW
GAZING DOWN AT THE DARKEST BLUE
WOULD IT FAIL YOU TWICE TO DISAPPEAR HERE
ALOFT YOUR WORLD WITH ALL IT'S CLUES
GLIDE YOUR SMILE UNTO MY VISIONS
SWEET GUM SCENTS THAT STILL LINGER
AWAKE I AM IN THIS PURE MESS
WE'LL FLY FOREVER OR DESCEND TO DEATH
​
HOW FAR WILL THIS GO
LEAVING THIS WORLD BEHIND US
HOW FAR WILL THIS GO
LEAVING THIS WORLD
​
LEAVE IT NOW, LIKE POCKET CHANGE
OR HIDE WITHIN, PROTECT WHAT STILL REMAINS
SEND LIGHT FROM STARS, ILLUMINATE THE CURE
THEN REST MY DEAR, MY SWEET VOYEUR
