Love's running away from me
|
Through open eyes I still can't see
|
You, important part of me
|
Walking on air, you'll find me there
|
What's on your mind? Love's so unkind
|
I waited hours for it, something so rare I held it close
|
Closer than ever now
|
What could be near, and yet so far?
|
Love's running away from me
|
Through open eyes I still can't see
|
Where there is time, you could be mine
|
Why dwell on past encounters?
|
At least they still affect us
|
|
Time, ticking away from us
|
Where there is time you still are mine
|
Love's running away from you
|
Through open eyes I've seen right through
|
Where there is hope I think I'll cope
|
Why wait in transit for it, rise up and reach out for it
|
|
Listen, though things may go wrong
|
It's forever, a promise you can't keep
|
I'll wait a lifetime for it, I'll rise, reach out and then I'll...
