DRIVING MY PICKUP - part 3

rust-&-velvet.mp3

[Verse]
Too far away to see
Too deep inside to reach
It's time to come back home
When we feel the call

[Chorus]
Rising and descending
Worlds above
Below
Two halves of one whole
Inverted heaven

[Verse 2]
Burned in the ground
We saw
Before the surface came
I don't know how to say
Maybe there's no way

[Chorus]
Rising and descending
Worlds above
Below
Two halves of one whole
Inverted heaven

[Bridge]
If it's real
How would you know?
We don't see what lies below
Some things we're not meant to know
Some things are better unknown
Some things are better unknown

[Chorus]
Rising and descending
Worlds above
Below
Two halves of one whole
Inverted heaven

Inverted Heaven

THE KNIGHT AND THE DAMSEL

The city skyline is my castle wall
The freeway's roar, a dragon's call
I ride the concrete in this rusted steel
Chasing a ghost I know was real

I saw your face in a crowded train
A flash of light, a sudden rain
But the doors they closed, the moment passed
An echo of a love that's meant to last

And it's an impossible love, a never-ending night
You're a damsel in a penthouse, burning ever-bright
I'm a knight in faded denim on a downtown street
A love we can't surrender, a vow we can't complete

I won't forget you, you won't forget me
For all eternity...

You're in a tower of glass and chrome
A different world you call your home
I see your light on the thirty-first floor
A lonely star I'm searching for

I could send a text, a hopeless please
But some doors are locked for a man like me
So I just stand guard in the neon glow
The only kind of knight you'll never know

And it's an impossible love, a never-ending night
You're a damsel in a penthouse, burning ever-bright
I'm a knight in faded denim on a downtown street
A love we can't surrender, a vow we can't complete

I won't forget you, you won't forget me 
For all eternity...

Maybe in another life, another age
We'd turn the final page
On a storybook of silver and of gold
But here and now, the tale is told
In silent glances, stolen sights
Across the divide of endless nights
This love's not broken, it's not undone
It's a battle that can never be won... or lost.

This IMPOSSIBLE LOVE! This never-ending night!
You're MY damsel in that penthouse, burning ever-bright!
I'm your knight on this asphalt, on this lonely street!
This love we can't surrender, this vow we can't complete!

I WON'T forget you! You WON'T forget me!
For all eternity!
