Swept Away

I am waiting with a ticket with a carry-on

People everywhere on their way, at a run

Then I see you from a distance

Light years later at fate's insistence

Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams

Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are

Swept away, swept away, swept away

You are standing by the pay phones, by the stairs

I walk straight into your arms and you hold me there

I am falling slowly backwards

Right into your famous last words

Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams

Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are

Swept away, swept away, swept away

All this ancient history, every unsolved mystery

Years I've carried with me, vanish when you kiss me

Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams

Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are

Swept away, swept away, swept away
