Keepin' her bright eyes focused on the coastline, waitin' for you Isn't she all us pining for that last kiss, a permanent truth, a means to get through Maybe we'll cry a while sober when we think about the past being cruel Got a thought for those who start to think of love as the pursuit of a fool, it's a palace from ruin Deep into the night, eyes closed and heart swollen with my lovin' for you Solid embrace, kind facin', then the hurt starts leavin' the room, followed by ghouls Sometimes it's open wide and lights the road at night, you got a heart like the moon Gather courage if you're doin' something, do it cause she got to go soon If I could now, I'd never tell you not to love her However, leavin' her a long way from her And that ain't no promise crackin' over time, a private corner of Rome Don't shadow the light, wait for good love grown If I could now, if I could now, if I could now, if I could now If I had you now So keep them bright eyes focused on the coastline waitin' for you Don't give me that bye-bye baby when the night moves into black from the blue And the nights you've been through, just give me that wide smile babe for puttin' songs into the hearts of the doomed You catch a cold heart starin' at the water babe, remember you flew If I could now, I'd never tell you not to love her However, leavin' her a long way from her And that ain't no promise crackin' over time, a private corner of Rome Don't shadow the light, wait for good love grown If I could now, if I could now, if I could now, if I could now Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh If I could now, I'd never tell you not to love her However, leavin' her a long way from her And that ain't no promise crackin' over time, a private corner of Rome Don't shadow the light, wait for good love grown So say what you want dear, but the courage was won With the way that you spoke here, when the dreamin' was done
