Simple Minds

My imagination
They told me it was there?
But I can see
In that situation
Everything's a cross to bear
I feel
Someone in a coma
Someone without sight
Could feel the transformation
In their bodies in the night
Gone translucent
Encircled in light
So bring back the lover's chains
No letters need reply
We move over what remains
And let us go kiss & fly
Kiss & fly, kiss & fly
Kiss & fly
Only one solution
That was in my head
But I could see
Spiritual confusion
So more than I can stand
I can feel
Like someone in a coma
Someone without sight
Feel it in my body
Feel it every night
Gone translucent
Encircled in light
So bring back the lover's chains
No need letters need reply
Move over what remains
And let us go kiss & fly
Kiss & fly
Bring back the lover's arms
Oh, let me go deep inside
Move over what remains
Let us go kiss & fly
Kiss & fly, kiss & fly
Kiss & fly
I don't think there's much to tell you
I don't think there's much to say
I don't think there's much to tell you
I know that you know so much more
I don't think there's much to tell you
I don't think there's much to say
I don't think there's much to tell you
I know that you know so much more
Bring back the lover's arms
Oh, let me go deep inside
Move over what remains
Let us go kiss & fly
Kiss & fly
Bring back the lover's arms
Oh, let me go deep inside
Move over what remains
Let us go kiss & fly
Kiss & fly, kiss & fly
Kiss & fly
Bring back the lover's arms
Oh, let me go deep inside
Move over what remains
Let us go kiss & fly
Kiss & fly, kiss & fly
