Lyrics

There’s a shadow passing over me
It could stay for evermore
Like a wave, I'm breaking far at sea
And there's no one to hear the roar
The days are drifting into seasons
They're the hardest I have known
A million spaces in the earth to fill
But no going home
There's no going home

I can dream before the break of day
That I'm back with you again
Then the morning blows it all away
And leaves an echo of your name
Still a thousand miles lie between us
Where we're waking up alone
And what if I could cross a hundred borders?
There's no going home
There's no going home

When it thunders from an open sky
I will be there
No one to hold you when the storm birds fly
Is no one left to care

I search rumours with my hollow plans
When all I want is what's mine
Lost and lonely in a foreign land
I'm left too far behind the lines
I want to tear down the walls between us
But I can't do it on my own
A million spaces in the earth to fill
And there’s a generation waiting still
We've got year after year to kill
But no going home
There’s no going home
