Lyrics
[Intro]
This next song, we're gonna need a little help from a very special friend
So if you'd be so kind as to welcome back to the stage
The amazing mister James Bay, make some noise, show some love, yeah
[Instrumental]
It's a lonely road, full of tired men
And you can see it in their faces
And you'll be home in spring, I can wait 'til then
I heard you're on the big train
And, oh, this too shall pass
This loneliness won't last for long, ooh
I wasn't there to take his place
I was ten thousand miles away
[Verse 1]
So when you hear my voice
When you say my name
May it never give you pain
'Cause I don't wanna go
But it's time to leave
You'll be on my mind, my destiny
And I won't fight in vain
I love you just the same, yeah
[Chorus]
I, I couldn't know what's in your mind
But I saw the pictures, and you were looking fine, yeah
And there was a time when I stood in line
For love, for love, for love
But I let you go, oh, I let you go
But he fell apart with his broken heart
And this blood, this blood, this blood
Oh, it drains from my skin, it does
[Instrumental]
That's James Bay
