He tried to tell her, and she thought it right
Hand in hand they marched on through the night
He knew the answers, she'd hoped to find
It'll just take a little time
Just a little bit of time
It wasn't easy, but how could they fail
Though love can blind you, just like a veil
He knew the prize was worth the strain
There was so very much to gain
So much love was there to gain

And they flew so high
They lifted off the ground
They locked themselves away
In the magic they had found
Every day they tried to make paradise their aim
In the end there's nobody to blame
There's never anyone to blame

Avoiding the shadows, they struggled on
Went up and down, did right and wrong
Misunderstandings were pushed aside
And the gap became too wide
You can not bridge a gap so wide

Though they flew so high

Nothing unusual, no big event
Only time and the way that it was spent
They missed the signs to walk away
Circumstances made them stay
Much too late to break away

And they flew so high
