The rain still falls upon this roof The moon still keeps its place The city wears another night Another borrowed face Five hundred years The wind still knows The way between The stone Come! The river carries every name Then leaves them to the sea The towers reach beyond the clouds The same as yesterday I've seen empires rise Seen empires fall The night remembers Every one Come! Come higher! Leave every street below Come higher! There are things I want to show Look down! The world grows small Look down! It always was The bells outlive the hands that ring The walls outlive the throne The stars arrive before the dawn They always have Hold on! The wind is stronger here. Do not look away! I want you To see this. Every night I came here alone Every night The sky was wide Every night I thought I knew Everything Then you arrived. LOOK! THE RIVER BURNS LIKE SILVER! LOOK! THE STREETS HAVE LOST THEIR NAMES! LOOK! THE WHOLE WORLD FALLS AWAY! LOOK! LOOK AT THIS! Stay close! Do not let go Stay close! The wind is stronger now I've crossed this sky A thousand nights I wanted you To see it I never knew It was beautiful Until... I saw it With you. The rain still falls The moon still climbs Two shadows One sky
