Your starlit eyes, the afterglow a sign
You've set us wandering
So let me ride through night, 'til love is everything
Now an age has come, out of the loneliness

Your hand in mine
Your hand in mine (oh)
The great divide (oh)
A stitch in time
Then we recombine
The way it was
Well, dust to dust
Has led us here to collide

The blind, collective mind of man
is all they're offering
Then you bring a breath of life
out of the emptiness

Your hand in mine
Your hand in mine (oh)
The great divide (oh)
A stitch in time
Then we recombine
The way it was
Well, dust to dust
Has led us here to collide

Ooh, love of mine
Bright as the starlight shines
Into the night
Changing our whole lives

You trace the lines through space and time
Until you find they all align
You give to me a memory
Just a melody I have to sing
