engines

by Pink floyd

So this is where the engines stop
Oh this is where we find the words I'll never talk
Is this where the fuel runs out?
Or the starting point to turn it round
Lift the breaks, let’s not waste time 'cause …
your love is my life
I don’t know why we’re fighting when
we’re on the same side
Stuck here, we’re stalling
Can’t keep looking backwards
Got to live for now not then
So engines can start again
So this is where the penny drops
We only seem to look for it when it’s lost
There were times we made the traffic stop
But now the bright lights don’t notice us at all
Lift the weights, let’s not waste time with
the little things that stop us moving
'Cause your love is my life
I don’t know why we’re fighting when
we’re on the same side
Stuck here, we’re stalling
Can’t keep looking backwards
Got to live for now not then
So engines can start again
My happy memory is home
Back when the engines started on their own
Lost in so many different places
So many conversations and faces I don’t want to face without....
Your Love in my life
I don’t where we’re going
But I can’t wait to arrive...
'Cause your love is my life
I don’t know why we’re fighting when
we’re on the same side
Stuck here, we’re stalling
Can’t keep looking backwards
Got to live for now not then
So engines can start …
So engines can start …
Engines can start again

Engines

by Alex Ubago

Only the faintest
Only the faintest glance buries you, buries me
So fire your engine
See if I give a damn, we'll be dust instantly
Caught in a jet stream
Caught in a gorgeous howl, all the world lost in noise
Use me forever
Use me for rocket fuel, I'll be air, I'll be fire
You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past, the now, the coming years
What will you remember
What will you think of me after I say goodbye
Returning in bodies,
Plants and the sand you'll squeeze in between shoeless feet
I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said
I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past, the now, the coming years
