Lyrics

[00:11.59] Well it's a long way out to reach the sea
[00:16.58] But I'm sure I'll find you waitin' there for me
[00:21.43] And by the time I blink I'll see your wild arms swingin'
[00:27.12] just to meet me in the middle of the road
[00:31.80] And you'll hold me like you'll never let me go
[00:36.48] And beside the salty water I could hold you close
[00:41.91] But you are far too beautiful to love me
[00:47.00]
[00:51.69] Well it's a long haul up the dusty mountain
[00:56.61] I'll build a turret tall enough to keep you out
[01:01.43] But when you wage your wars against the one who adores you
[01:07.05] Then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth
[01:12.30] But I've never been a wealthy one before
[01:16.64] I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold
[01:21.97] And I think I'm far too poor for you to want me
[01:27.09]
[02:11.22] It's been a long road losing all I've owned
[02:16.41] You don't know what you've got 'til you're gone
[02:21.58] And it's a nasty habit spending all you have
[02:26.88] But if you're doing all the leaving
[02:29.43] Then it's never your love lost
[02:32.15] And if you leave before the start then there was never love at all
[02:36.54] And heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should have loved
[02:41.67] Yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
[02:54.70]
