Simple Minds - Stay Visible

A fantastic song from the album Black & White 050505 (2005), in my opinion the best album since Real Life (1991). http://www.simpleminds.com.
Simple Minds most better than the best. Lyrics:
he road opens wide,
And there is space here for two of us.
If I could slip under the wire,
We'd wait here, just stay here, a while.
Slumped.
My body's tired,
And this fear,
It never lets me sleep.
In your smile,
This trial elates.
And in your eyes,
I see mother's open gates.

If fortune would smile,
There'd be room here for two of us.
And I would burn myself through the wires.
With this hate, concentrated, unearthed, disparate,
All of this in time...

Once in a while,
If peace held for two of us,
Or if we could show mercy awhile,
With patience, transcending, this coldness, neverending, through time.

Because if home still matters,
And if these bones were not so battered,
What state then?
I'm so desparate,
Stuck within a hollow shell,
In some forgotten state...
Come tear the dirt from my eyes!

Never thought to listen to any new Simple Minds songs since they went downhill with the likes of glitter ball until I read about how good this song is.... And it really is!
