Now You're Not Here (Desolate Shores) Songtext
von Swing Out Sister

Love was young
We saw beyond a sky that had no limits
Much higher than the highest star
Beyond the furthest planet
We thought that we could change the world
And everything in it
But time ran out of endless hours
Gave in to doubt
Were we just playing an endless game
That no one ever wins?

If I could run away, hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it′s real
Now you're not here, yeah
Now you′re not here, woah-woah


Love and hate, left up to fate
A life we took for granted
We couldn't stop our running from
The things we always wanted
No long goodbyes, no tears to cry
And nothing to believe in
But now you're gone, we′ll never know
A love that′s grown
Time took away all that it gave
To the two of us

If I could run away, hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you′re not here, yeah
Now you're not here, woah-woah

When our hearts were young, the nights were long
We let the morning sun kiss our eyes open
Precious dreams that we had, now they′re dead and gone
The promises we made have all been broken, oh-woah

If I could run away, hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you′re not here, yeah
Now you're not here


In my arms, in my life
Loving you is just a memory
Now you're not here
Now you′re not here with me now
In my arms, in my mind, in my life
