Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keepin' her bright eyes focused on the coastline, waitin' for you
Isn't she all of us pinin' for that last kiss, permanent truth
A means to get through
Maybe we'll cry whilst hopeful when we thing about the past bein' cruel
Got a thought for those who start to think of love as the pursuit of a fool
It's a palace for ruin
[Verse 2]
Deep into the night, eyes closing, heart swollen with my lovin' for you
A solid embrace, kind face and then the hurt starts leavin' the room
Followed by goons
Sometimes it's open wide and lights the road at night
You've got a heart like a moon
Gather courage it you're doin' something
Do it 'cause she gotta go soon
[Verse 3]
If I could now
I'd never tell ya not to love her
However, leavin' her a long way from her home
And that ain't no promise crackin' over time
A private corner of Roma
Don't shadow the light
Wait, good love grown
If I could now
If I could now
If I could now
If I could now
If I had you now
[Verse 4]
So keepin' bright eyes focused on the coastline, waitin' for you
Don't give me that bye, bye, baby
When the night moves back from the blue
The nights you get through
Just give me that wide smile, baby
Poured the songs into the hearts of the doomed
And catch a cold heart starin' at the water, baby, remember you flew
[Verse 5]
If I could now
I'd never tell ya not to love her
However, leavin' her a long way from her home
And that ain't no promise crackin' over time
A private corner of Roma
Don't shadow the light
Wait, good love grown
If I could now
If I could now
If I could now
If I could now
[Verse 6]
If I could now
I'd never tell ya not to love her
However, leavin' her a long way from her home
And that ain't no promise crackin' over time
A private corner of Roma
Don't shadow the light
Wait, good love grown
[Verse 7]
So say what you want, dear
The courage was won
With the way that you spoke here
When the dreamin' was done
