Swept Away Lyrics
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
People everywhere on their way, at a run
Then I see you from a distance
Light years later at fate's insistence
Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are
Swept away, swept away, swept away
I walk straight into your arms and you hold me there
I am falling slowly backwards
Right into your famous last words
Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are
Swept away, swept away, swept away
Years I've carried with me, vanish when you kiss me
Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are
Swept away, swept away, swept away
