lyrics

Where do we go
When the morning comes and the windows glow?
I'll be waiting for you by the phone
I'll sing our songs on the radio
Your picture reminds me of home
What I wouldn't give to be by the coast
Salt in the air is what I miss the most
It pulls me so close

When the sun is out of sight
Send me a postcard of your night sky
If you look up my darlings
We watch the same stars every night
For a moment I'm with you, I feel you tonight

But that's how it goes
Now the evening's here and I'm far from home
Even the wind knows I'm alone
The emptiness from our old photos
Ink and hues linger like ghosts
Stains my eyes and colours my soul
As I fade into one part of our whole
You pull me so close

When the sun is out of sight
Send me a postcard of your night sky
If you look up my darlings
We watch the same stars every night
For a moment I'm with you, I feel you tonight
Facing the waves of the North Sea is easy
When you're right here beside me
The fish are so lucky to fill your eyes with pure delight
For a moment I'm floating through your dreams tonight

All of your words and sentiments stay with me
The print of your lips upon my cheek
Oh, it's never gonna get better
The pain of being free
That's the devilry of the lives we lead

Now the sun is out of sight
Send me a fragment of your night sky
If you look up my darlings
We've lost the same stars oh, tonight
For a moment I'm with you, I feel you tonight
Facing the waves of the North Sea is easy
When you're right here beside me
The fish are so lucky to fill your eyes with pure delight
For a moment I'm floating through your dreams tonight
