VERSE: Fm Bbm C# Eb
There is a place that I remember, where we were sheltered from our sins.
We were the only ones allowed there, the safest place we've ever been.
There was a time where I could hold you, and we would watch the whole world spin.
We used to lay and talk for hours, and wouldn't let the daylight in.
CHORUS:
C# G# C#
After this fades we falter and discover,
G# Eb G#
everything gold will stay.
G# C#
We'll find our way back to one another,
G# Eb
one of these days.

There was a time when we were strangers, and such a love could not exist.
Now I look back and can't help wonder, about the love that we have missed.
CHORUS
BRIDGE: Bbm Fm x3 C# Eb
There's no point in looking backwards,
when there are oceans between us.
Just be still and your call will be answered,
and when I'm home, we can spread our wings again.
