Under the shadows of the vanguard
You raised a toast to the changing of the guards
Now I was on the outskirts
And you were in Bliss
I thought I'd lead you out but something went amiss
Now all that you sing and all that you whistle
Sounds like the echo of the hum and the rattle
But there ain't no point in going adrift tonight
From the beginning you had your neck on the line
Now I see moonlight and I see snow
And I hear raindrops falling on her floor
Now I hear you running on with the rest
But I've been keeping it buried inside my chest
You release your horses
As I moved my pawn
You raised a finger to the queen of all his dawns
I make no mistakes
And leave no traces
The swiftest move was the one you missed when you blinked
Now I see strangers on the front steps of your life
As I was going above to observe a different side
Now if the thought of hurting me is keeping you busy
I've been running far too long to look back now baby
