Lyrics

(Ooh)
(Ooh)
The road opens wide
There's space here for two of us
If I could slip under the wire
We'd wait here, just stay here a while
Slumped, the body's tired
And this fear never lets me sleep
Your smile, this trial elates
In your eyes, I see mothers open gates
If fortune could smile
There'd be room here for two of us
And I would burn myself through the wire
With hate concentrated, unearthed, disparate, in time
Ooh-ooh
Once in a while
If peace held for two of us
If we could show mercy awhile
With patience transcending this cold never ending through time
And if home still matters
If these bones were not so shattered
What state, so desperate
Within a hollow shell in a forgotten state
Come tear the dirt from my eyes
Written by: Charlie Burchill, Jez Coad, Jim Kerr
