She packed her bags and dressed
Long before the sunrise
No one knew
She told them many times
About how she would teach them
And now it's time
Standing quietly by the door
Her face is numb with fear
She stops and then goes on
"Leave forever - it's now or never"

Quickly walking down the street
It's cold and grey, dawn's breaking
She don't mind (she don't mind)
Why she feels so grown up now
Her life is just beginning
She don't know (she don't know)
She's standing in the pouring rain
Her make-up's running down
She wonders now she's here
"Where will I go? Who do I know?"

Now, now she's not quite so sure
I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly now
And they might worry but she doesn't want them to
Cos causing pain, that's not the thing that she set out to do

So she's back in bed before
Anyone can miss her
She feels good (she feels good)
Knowing the chance was there
Deciding not to take it
That's her choice (that's her choice)
She's still awake, her mum comes in
"Me and dad, we've had a chat
And we're sorry for the things we said
Please forgive us - you wouldn't leave us?"

Standing in a forest gazing at the sun
   looking at the trees but there's not even one
See a rippling stream that smiles and then goes by
   run to feel its comfort but the water's dry.

I see her face and run to take her hand
Whey she's never there I don't understand
The trumpets sound my whole world crumbles down

Visions of angels all around
   dance in the sky
Leaving me here
   forever goodbye.

As the leaves will crumble so will fall my love
   for the fragile beauty of our lives must fade
Though I once remember echoes of my youth
   now I sense no past, no love that ends in love

Take this dream the stars have filled with light
As the blossom glides like snowflakes from the trees
In vengeance to a god no-one can reach.

Visions of angels all around
   dance in the sky
Leaving me here
   forever goodbye.

Ice is moving and world's begun to freeze
   see the sunlight stopped and deadened by the breeze
Minds are empty bodies move insensitive
   some believe that when they die they really live

I believe there never is an end
God gave up this world its people long ago
Why she's never there I still don't understand

Visions of angels all around
   dance in the sky
Leaving me here
   forever goodbye.

Visions of angels all around
   dance in the sky
Leaving me here
   forever goodbye.
