Clapton There's a distance in your eyes Ten thousand miles of sky It's a long and lonely flight But it's all a part of life As the dream time disappears, Are your dreams now far or near? Is your mind becoming clear? Won't you step into the light? There we were standing And screaming in the hall Then when we're through hurting each other We just can't remember the point of it all Let's go up where the angels fly One fine night we walked the streets
Watched the dawn break on the beach Now it all seems out of reach But it's just a state of mind There's two nations in our hearts And it's tearing us apart No more living in the dark Up where the angels fly Here in Metropolis, Reality disappears But baby, we've come too far To be throwing our dreams out In senseless defeat Music soothes the savage beast Let's go up where the angels fly
