Sonic Youth - Tom Violence lyrics

Her eyes they glisten in the sun

As she watches the day become (night)

As the dark draws in

And then she takes a flute and plays a song

Melodies from days that have gone (by)

And as she looks in the water

He's smiling back at her

And in her heart she knows

The time is close

For her soul to move on from this earth

[Chorus]

It's been a loooooong time waiting

To see his face and

To feel his love again

Nooooooo more crying

Soon you'll be flying

To a place where forever begins

Flying to forever, forever

To a place where forever begins

Flying to forever, forever

To a place where forever begins

She remembers a time when he was there

They were blissfully unaware

That their time was near

For the man that she loved was to go away

He'd been called to a better place

Far...far away from here

And as she looks in the water

He's smiling back at her

And in her heart she knows

Her eyes they show

The dreams of the way things once were

[Repeat Chorus]

Two lovers pray

They'll meet again

On the other side

She feels no pain

She's strong again

Where the angels fly

And as she looks in the water

He's smiling back at her

And in her heart she knows

Her eyes they show

The dreams of the way things once were

[Repeat Chorus]

Flying to forever, forever

To a place where forever begins

Flying to forever, forever

To a place where forever begins
