Lyrics
We travel through the atmosphere
Moving through the vanished years
Moving through the atmosphere
We search the years
Through the distant dreaming mind
Retracing steps, retracing time
Through the distant dreaming mind
Retracing time
High above the city lights
We move through the endless nights
High above the city lights
We move tonight
In the distant dreaming sky
Retracing steps, retracing time
In the distant dreaming sky
We search for signs
But there are only traces of our tears
There are only traces of our tears
Now you are the one, Delicate Blue
You are the one we're singing to
Can you hear us sing to you?
Delicate Blue
In the distant dreaming sky
The sound of hymns and lullabies
In your distant dreaming mind
We sing tonight
There are only traces of our tears
