lyrics

Love is everywhere around us
And a master of disguise
How it frightens and astounds us
It can be hard to recognize...
Fifty miles to forgive her
One last drive to keep the faith
Maybe it's not too late
One crucial line to deliver her:
"Sorry lover, my mistake"
But she waits and waits too long
And the words become
What she should have said
Could have done

CHORUS:
Love lies in a straight line
The shortest distance to my soul
Why, why can't the words rise up to reach you
I should have never let you go

I see you walking on the water
And heaven is a glance my way
I don't know your name
Before you vanish in the distance
I know what I must say
But I wait and wait too long
And the words become
What I should have said
Could have done

CHORUS

Oh, can't you hear me
Listen to my silent call
I'm drowning in myself like water on a cliffside
Afraid to cascade and fall...

CHORUS

I will never let you go
