WILD HEATHER

Swallows swooping low
Over the marshlands
Pale sun fading fast
Still silhouettes the trees
And I live and breathe the same air
Ten years ago we shared
Before you left

Sands of time they say
Will heal the memories
Long summers gone it seems
Forever wasn't quite just what you meant
And I live and breathe the same air
Ten years ago we shared
Before you left

If you stood on this rock
Where we last kissed
And looked out on the moorlands
If you could smell the wild heather
Maybe this could be forever
One more time

And time is in my way
And time is in my way
And time is in my way
And time is in my way

This God-forsaken place
Has seen some changes
And with each change
I feel an insult to our time
And I live and breathe the same air
Ten years ago we shared before you left

A hazy spring I think
I took for granted
Counting petals
That I assumed belonged to me
I'm a fool that's chasing rainbows
Through the sunshine and the rain
And a spirit wild and free

If you stood on this rock
Where we last kissed
And looked out on the moorlands
If you could smell the wild heather
Maybe this could be forever
One more time

And time is in my way
And time is in my way
And time is in my way
And time is in my way
