The Light Years

This is the end, this is paradise
No more pretending, I realize
This is the place, I’ve been aiming for
The air so clear, such a realness to it all

This is where you and I were bound
You had your troubles and I had mine
But on the way we left behind, everything dark

The light years have come
Goodbye tears, so long
The right years have come at last

This is the end, now we can rise no more
This is the peak, from here we’ll stumble and fall
This is the place, we’ve been dreaming of
But how I miss, the thrills of newborn love

This is where you and I were bound
So high above we hardly see the ground
But from the top the only way is down, into the night

The light years have come
Goodbye tears, so long
The right years have come at last
Goodbye tears, so long
The right years have come at last
