Higher and Brighter Lyrics

Higher and brighter
Every day
You float like an angel
Flying further away
Oh-oh-oh, leaving me
Your perfect memory

See the chalk on the sidewalk
The rain is washing away
All the colours are blending
Swirling down the drain
Oh-oh-oh, leave no trace
No picture of your face

One day you will vanish
No form left for me to see
Just an old idea
Shining silver for me

Now I am frozen
Here in your past
Like a snowy Christmas scene
Inside a globe of glass
Turn me over in your hand
Stir me to life once again

One day I will vanish
No features for eyes to see
Just an old idea
A half-remembered melody

So leave if you will
You leave me the best of you still
Cold and bright
In the night that's calling me
