lyrics

A JOURNEY OF HEARTS

REPEATING TIME WHERE THE ECHOES CHASE
A KNOWING CALL FROM A STRANGERS FACE
REMINDING ME WHY MEMORIES COMPLAIN

FOR I RECOGNISED WHERE LOVE’S PERVERSE
IN GHOSTLY PHOTOGRAPHS REVERSED
SEEING THOSE BETRAYAL STUNG WITH PAIN

I SEE THEM IN THE FEAR THAT TIME MIGHT WASTE
I SEE THEM IN THE CROSSROADS ON YOUR FACE.

AND THOUGH SISTERS LOVERS GATHER NAMES
EVENTUALLY THEY’RE ALL THE SAME
LOVERS WITH NO REASONS NEED EXPLAIN

FOR LOVE DOES NOT REPLY TO CHOICE
SIMPLY WAITS TO HEAR THE VOICE
THE ONE SO OFTEN HEARD BEYOND THE PAIN

I’VE SEEN THEM IN THE TEARS THAT LOVE HAS TRACED
I’VE SEEN THEM IN THE CROSSROADS ON YOUR FACE

NOW YOU WALK ON WATERS BARELY DRIED
SUFFER STORMS INTO YOUR STRIDE
DROWNING FAR ABOVE THE OCEANS CALL

BUT NO MATTER WHAT MIGHT DRIVE YOU DOWN
YOU WILL NOT CRASH THROUGH STONY GROUND
SOMETIMES STUMBLE BUT KID YOU’LL NEVER FALL

I SEE YOUR STEPS THAT NO-ONE CAN REPLACE
I SEE THEM IN THE CROSSROADS ON YOUR FACE
