"Exile"
I feel a shadow passing over me that could stay for ever more.
Like a wave I'm breaking far at sea, there's no-one to hear the roar.
And the days are drifting into seasons, they're the hardest I have known.
A million spaces in the earth to fill, but there's no going home, no going home.
And I can dream before the break of day that I am back with you again.
Then the morning blows it all away and leaves and echo of your name.
Still a thousand miles lies between us and the waking up alone.
What if I could cross a hundred borders-there's no going home, no going home.
When the thunder breaks the empty sky, I shall be there.
No-one to hold you when the storm birds fly, is ther no-one left to care?
I'm searching rumours with my hollow plans, when all I wanted is what's mine.
I'm lost and lonely in this foreign land. I'm left too far behind the lines.
I want to tear down these walls between us and I can't make it alone.
A million spaces in the earth to fill, here's a generation waiting still,
We've got year after year to kill, but there's no going home, no going home.
No going home, no going home, no going home, no going home.
