Distant Smile — Ultravox

Sometimes I find I drift away Behind a distant smile

Light years ago I think someone spoke Quizzical glances behind cigarette smoke She drew the curtains at the end of the day And then we laughed because the room sailed away

Fancy glitter in the summer arcades Then autumn leaves fall by a winter lane Piano echoes and the perfume still lingers But you fell through my fingers like sand

With a distant smile A distant smile A distant smile Somehow I always seem to be Adrift in other times with a distant smile

(???) the sound of the streets The city's glittering like diamonds in heat Our secret destination, touch down in the haze As the cameraman pans away

Hey look, it's a long lost horizon Private oceans you can surface a sunrise in Hearts well ? dodging logic But nevertheless still permanently surprised

Behind a distant smile A distant smile A distant smile Somehow I always seem to be Adrift in other times behind a distant smile

You will see (?)
