Our journey too fast, our break-up too slow
My need for you won’t stop so it’s time to go
Outcast, I float like a ship gone astray
I drift from you, your winds sail me away
If you won’t cry for me
You will set my soul free
But if you honour me dear, with just one loving tear
I’ll come back again, you’ll see
When you speak my name please make it a song
Your voice pays penance for all I did wrong
Recount my virtues, forgive my flaws
Of our loving, not ending, you’ve been the cause
If you won’t cry for me
You will set my soul free
But if you honour me dear, with just one loving tear
I’ll come back again to thee
Fiery and consuming, you set me alight
Will you chase our shadows away one final night?
I burned for you till I had nothing left
Of each other now we are both bereft
If you won’t cry for me
You'll set my soul free
But if you honour me dear, with just one loving tear
I’ll come back again to be…
Be by your side
Be along for the ride
Be your love that never died
Be by your side
Be along for the ride
Be your love that never died
