[Verse 1] The last train stood beneath flickering light its windows full of rain the city out of sight The board kept turning over as if it knew the way and everyone still waiting was already far away The tracks lay dark and shining like a river underground the doors were humming softly with a low electric sound I stood there in the opening my hand still on the steel already half surrendered to the current I could feel [Pre-Chorus] Driven by time still held in the light leaving myself letting time lie Already half gone the doors nearly closed something inside me didn't rise [Chorus] Before I thought everything flowed before I could hold it it moved through us The clock stayed outside the rain falling wide the world had no edge before time took shape Before I thought everything flowed before I could hold it it moved through us The doors kept breathing the rain falling wide the world had no edge before time took shape [Verse 2] You came from the far end of the platform light not lost, not running just slower than the night Your coat hung heavy with the rain and the cold your shadow moved before you like a child grown old A red light crossed the windows and trembled on the train the city held its breath there between the glass and rain I could have let it carry me where I was meant to go but something in my body stayed open on its own [Pre-Chorus] Driven by time still held in the light leaving myself letting time lie Already half gone the doors nearly closed something inside me didn't rise [Chorus] Before I thought everything flowed before I could hold it it moved through us The clock stayed outside the rain falling wide the world had no edge before time took shape Before I thought everything flowed before I could hold it it moved through us The doors kept breathing the rain falling wide the world had no edge before time took shape [Verse 3] You found the rail with a trembling hand the floor moved softly beneath where we stand No word fell between us no thanks gathered weight the doors closed quietly as if late had no name The train moved into darkness the city slipped behind but something stayed unbroken somewhere beneath my mind I saw us in the window two figures in the glass caught inside the flicker before the moment passed [Bridge] What I understood had already changed what I tried to hold had already taken shape What I called a moment was already gone what I called a distance had already drawn a line But just before before weight, before sight there was no border between body and light I thought I stayed so you could come through but maybe the opening was moving through me too [Final Chorus] Before I thought everything flowed before I could hold it it moved through us The clock stayed outside the rain falling wide the world had no edge before time took shape Before I thought everything flowed before I could hold it it moved through us The doors kept breathing the rain falling wide the world had no edge before time took shape [Outro] The rain kept falling the tracks became still the clock came back like it had its own will But for one breath it all stayed unnamed and the world had no edge — the world had no edge
