Lyrics

THAT LONGING

After a while all cities
Seem to blend into one
Miles of glassy canyons
That have me reflecting upon
How many days must I
Be here alone
Til finally I return
To where I belong

Time through my fingers
Grasping dry sand
Must leave to live it seems
Get things back in hand
Gone from my sight
But here I still stand
More than water
The Severn bridges span

I made so many mistakes
This I know
But I never thought I'd make
That many in a row

I made so many mistakes
This I know
But I never thought I'd make
That many in a row

It seems all my days
My mind keeps this picture pure
Greens and rugged greys
Shade and light the lure
Rolling hills and the moorland sweeps
Space to taste the cure
Meet the right kind of eyes
That I know for sure
Meet the right kind of eyes
That I know for sure

I made so many mistakes
This I know
But I never thought I'd make
That many in a row

I made so many mistakes
This I know
But I never thought I'd make
That many in a row
That many in a row
That many in a row
