Wasted Light

歌詞

That time when we were crossin' the Atlantic The moment now we reached the middle You turned to me and said something romantic 'I've won the race and you're the medal' And all the ocean liners we were passing Are nothing on a selling whistle And as the waves were rolling we were dancing Like we had enough to lose a little So sure we were contenders So strong and willing to fight But it's a long way down When you're far from the ground And I've been falling most of my life And though the sunshine's on Even after you're gone I feel sorry for the wasted light Wasted light Spill off the port into a crowded mainstream Looking for somewhere to settle Soon enough we're lost inside the mystery We'll be strangers before night settle With so much to say we've said too little Back then we were pretenders So young and ready to fight Oh But it's a long way down When you're far from the ground And I've been falling most of my life And though the sunshine's on Even after you're gone I feel sorry for the wasted light I feel sorry for the wasted light Ouh It's a long way down When you're far from the ground I've been falling most of my life And though the clock ticks on even after you're gone I'm just shaking hands with wasted time I'm still praying you come home one night Ooh It's a long way down When you're far from ground And though the sunshine's on Even after you're gone I feel sorry for the wasted light I'm still praying you come home one night So here I am crossing the Atlantic Maybe see you at the middle
