A thousand images of broken light Like diamonds on the river shining so bright And when the sun sets on a silent glide I wonder who you are You become an abstraction a kind of idea And though I try so hard I can't even hear Your voice that used to be so perfectly clear I wonder where have you been I've been waiting just for you all my life And now what am I gonna do I have to learn to survive They say to sin is human Forgiving is divine That doesn't mean we got a reason For wasting all that time It's gonna be a long long way Won't you come for a ride? We haven't got a lot to say But that's alright It's gonna be a long long way And when we arrive That'll be the brightest day of my life When you think that love goes on and on You may find out it has turned off and is gone There's a place in the middle of nowhere for us all And I wonder if it's me who's gonna fall It's your life do what you like And I do what I have to do Now look me in the eye Tell me your version of the truth I thought I knew you What did I really know? And now in the light of day Your true colours start to show A thousand images of broken light Like diamonds on the river shining so bright And when the sun sets on a silent glide I wonder who you are I've been waiting just for you all my life And now what am I gonna do I have to learn to survive They say to sin is human Forgiving is divine That doesn't mean we got a reason For wasting all that time It's gonna be a long long way Won't you come for a ride? We haven't got a lot to say But that's alright It's gonna be a long long way And when we arrive That'll be the brightest day of my life It's gonna be a long long way Won't you come for a ride? We haven't got a lot to say But that's alright It's gonna be a long long way And when we arrive That'll be the brightest day of my life It's gonna be a long long way Won't you come for a ride? We haven't got a lot to say But that's alright It's gonna be a long long way And when we arrive That'll be the brightest day Of my life (birds sing)
