Lyrical Transcription: Official lyrics from Vertigo liner notes

I can see by the light of a broken sky
That you're on the mend
The photograph of your broken hearted eyes
Will fade and bend
I can see your face, a black and white collage
Of the chemical emotion
A picture of a thousand lonely nights
You'll no longer spend

I can tell you're feeling better now

You're too high to come down

I can see by the light of the floating sky
It's cold and gray
Underneath a heavenly silhouette
You float away
I could tie you down
Keep you down to earth like a cut and bleeding angel
Tie you down to Earth like a monument made of clay

But you're fading into black like a passing stranger
Walking on a falling sky
Just a memory in your mind's wandering eye

I can tell you're feeling better now

In the black and white sky
Love in the camera's eye
Love comes down when I
When I say to myself
When I say to myself
I can tell you're feeling better
