Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Left out on the road eight years ago
And you left, too but I never really thought you would really go
And if I knew then, I was really losing you
I'd change my ways and my mind 'fore I lose control
[Verse 2]
'Cause in a darkened space
You watched our souls replaced
And said our goodbyes
But we didn’t know the shape
[Verse 3]
And for years now
I've been hunting you down
Trying to find out
Your hiding place
[Verse 4]
Oh, at last, you're here in my arms again
And I don't know how long, so I won't waste a bit
The beauty of the road is lost in your eyes, I drift
Softly back to when we were young and in love
[Verse 5]
Oh, and as you go
You spend your whole life wishing and working
All you get is the end of the rope
Oh, what do we know?
You spend your whole life searching
And find the thing you're looking
Is what you lost so long ago
[Verse 6]
And for years now
I've been hunting the sound
That soft breath on the back of my neck
Got me running, running, running, running
[Verse 7]
Oh, at last, you're here in my arms again
And I don't know how long, so I won't waste a bit
The beauty of the road is lost in your eyes, I drift
Softly back to when we were young and in love
[Verse 8]
You're here in my arms again
And I don't know how long, so I won't waste a bit
The beauty of the road is lost in your eyes, I drift
Softly back to when we were young and in love
[Verse 9]
Oh, we were young
And in love
I was young
And in love
