Everything But The Girl - The Spice of Life lyrics

something has come between me and the world that knew what I thought wild last is falling apart in the face of something new how can I explain that I had no choice the sound of the waves fills her ears and drowns out my voice and I'm just too far away for her to believe what I say she couldn't hear me, she wouldn't listen anyway how can I write a letter the post is so slow if I'm to disappoint her then that's something she ought to know I can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone how can so much harm be done by just two minutes spent on the phone you say that things will get better but she would hate me if I let her and she reads so much in every word that I say I thought that being apart would lust bring us some variety but after some time it seems clear that she's changed in a different way from me and I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame it's just her it's just me and everything that is just not the same sometimes I would turn back the clock and recapture all that we've lost but I couldn't give up all that we have today
