Tunnel of Love

(a Yes lyrics impression)

Tunnel of love
We founder on the rock of being
Distant shores
Beyond the sunrise; fragile heating

Chasing a star
With tears she spoke of quiet summers
Lighting the day
Strike up the band of ancient drummers

Never ends this tale.
We travel on forever.
Captain, set your sail;
The night may never sever.

Open wide your eyes;
A thousand years are we
At once and all our lives
Approach the silent sea.

Tunnel of love
Our hopes began in dreaming visions
Approaching the dawn
The moment's fleeting indecision

Becomes a shower
Of light beneath her steady heart.
Gazing within
We reach the end within the start

Time in, time out
Time in, time out
Time in, time out
Daybreak

Lead vocals:

Across expanses wilderness
Mounting the canyons of truth
We travel like stallions in the night
Forward!

We touch each other in starlight
Watching as you cast the dice of time
I await you in a veil of light
Lover!

Backing vocals:

Time in, time out
Time in, time out
Time in, time out
Daybreak

Time in, time out
Time in, time out
Time in, time out
Daybreak

Never ends this tale.
We travel on forever.
Time in, time out
The night may never sever.

Captain, set your sail;
A thousand years are we.
Distant shores await us
Beyond the silent sea.
We are free!
Yes, we are free!
