This is the longest dream
And I wait on the porch
For you to wake me
This is the longest life
Without you by my side
And I’ll be here until you hear
Your own voice – is it what you say
& Is that what you mean?
You could’ve saved the world
But you never changed
You never meant the words you spoke
And when you finally told the truth
It was rough and tumbly
Like the first time we knew each other
Awake and alive, when you leave the light on
The light shines on, oh love…
Sometimes I look back at the lives we’ve come from
And you were here before – I must not have learned
That’s why you’ve come back to me
Once in a while
For a little while
Still you own me
And we never change
So come back to me
Once in a while
There’s plenty of time
In this life baby
So please,
Come back to me
Awake and alive, when you leave the light on
The light shines on, oh love…
I love you like I love the world,
And I wish I could save you both
I wish I could save you both with the same words:
I love you…. I love you…
