The Wise Man's Fear – In Reach (Out Of Touch) lyrics

Take a moment’s time
Look to the edge of everything that you have found
It goes forever, and I could never

Take this wondrous sight
See beauty dawning on the edge of the horizon

And I could never

I see far away a fragile flame hung in the sky
A pale cold flower in the night sky, it leads me on, it pulls me in and now I’m chasing
After the moon and chilling light the land is shaping

I see far away a fragile flame hung in the sky
A pale cold flower in the night, planted among the stars and watered in the twilight

But I chase it away (In reach, out of touch)
I move and it moves from me
A cold flame that will not stay
I have to catch it before the day

Run around, run around till you find it, I hope that this love isn’t clouded by blindness
And keep it down, keep it down in your heart now, but never let it fade
Don’t let it fade, let it fade, let it fade away
Keep pressing on, this love is strong but may not stay
It’s bittersweet a rose, a thorn, a choice I must make

Take in all this space
Your kingdom reaches as far as your eye can see

It goes forever, and I could never
Take my thoughts in stride
A heart can be so free and filled that it is lonely

And I could never

Time’s not on my side
Can’t feel your warmth
Where do you hide?

Where did you flee? I cannot find you
You spoke my name, you flew away, and left me confused
Please show your face to me again before the sunrise

Time’s not on my side
Can’t feel your warmth
Where do you hide?

The last rays of your light are fading
The path I’m following along is separating
