lyrics

I put the key in my pocket
and walked away from what went before
a song was running through my head
a tune that I can't remember any more

heard the sounds echo round the valley
a glimpse of something left far behind
something I wasn't aware of losing
but now I keep on trying to find

I don't want to hear nobody cry
I just want to watch you where you lie

see the cops on every corner
people waiting, ready to run
blue lights flashing out a warning
someone will get hurt before the morning comes

I don't want to go and get in a fight
I just want to stay with you tonight

feel your head lying on my shoulder
hear your breathing soft and clear
I don't care about tomorrow
just as long as you are lying here

I don't want to feel the wind outside
I just want to feel you by my side

I don't want to make nobody cry
I just want to watch you where you lie
