Glory be

We saw the sun
Send its first rays
Through the crack in my curtains

And then you were gone
Driving for days
On your way back to athens

You called from the car
To tell me the shape
Of the clouds on the turnpike

My own shooting star
I gave you my heart
Just to see what it felt like

And glory be
To all lost lovers
Let someone see
Their incantations

We took the train
From city to suburb
Asleep after midnight

We went to reclaim
The pact that we made
When we kissed 'neath the streetlight

We walked through the park
Collecting the ruins
Of my childhood castle

We fought in the dark
We parted in hate
To avoid all the hassle

And glory be
To all lost lovers
Let someone see
Their incantations
