And in the element of light
The sun reflected from the waves
Inshore it spangles

The child of air is borne upon the wind That blows across the sea

And in the element of summer
The cliffs suspended in the heat
The air in columns

The tiny figures of the world are walking
Underneath your feet
And underneath your hair

Where angels wander
I'll wander too
Where angels wander, over you
And in the element of darkness
The starlight shimmers on the spray
And falls towards you

Your perfect lover's never there
And if she was, she wouldn't be
And neither, though, would you

Save your illusions
For someone else
Save your illusions
For yourself

Element

And in the element of laughter
The quick explosion and the slow
Release of heat, you

The tide recedes upon the bones of Something beautiful and drowned
In coral and in jade

Where angels hover
I'll hover too
Where angels hover, over you
Over you
Over you
