lyrics

It took 10 years to let you go,
My heart is a shell, I want you to fill.
It was there when you left and its waiting for you now,
I pull down the stairs and I reach for your hand.

We were girls then, we are 22 now,
I can feel your breath, 10 miles from my own.
There's a cross on your hand, there's a cross through your name,
and I am still waiting to finish this game.

It was cold in our place, lashed by the rain,
I told you then, that I would always tay.
The sting of regret crept down your face,
and I will wait for the rest of my days.

Wake up my love, it is your day,
Our hearts are left, in a tent in the rain.
This isle holds us in the south of its palm,
We're broken apart but it keeps us from harm.
