Lyrics Peter Hammill

Peter Hammill

Phosphorescence

Across the ocean of the night

You turn and look into my eyes,

Burn into my life.

Now the moment's magical

But we keep our silence

You could tell me anything you want,

You could tell me all your secret wishes;

Only in our eyes, only in our eyes

We made the soul kiss

And we will never pass this way again

We will never know each other better;

Ships pass in the night

And in their wake they leave just phosphorescence.

You could tell me any lies you want,

It wouldn't change the way I feel about this;

Only in our eyes, only in our eyes

We made the soul kiss

And we will never pass this way again

But we'll always feel each other's presence...

Ships pass in the night

And when we wake we're left with phosphorescence
