Flickering Light

Two years ago we built this home So neither of us would feel alone We gave it warmth and light, it was our own We hung up pictures on the walls I never thought I'd see it fall I always thought we'd last until the end As the sun went in and the rain came down We stayed afloat trying not to drown You tried to keep the spark alive for us But we began to drift apart And as we got used to the dark I never thought I'd be the same again But grab your coat and will you meet me by the water Where we'll lose track of time as we're watching the day turn to night We never needed too many words to talk to each other But I'm finding you so hard to read in this flickering light So the lights went down and without a doubt I learned what love was all about I missed your face and and I missed you being home Cos the thing that drove our love apart Should not have put us in the dark It's surely not worth ending up alone And when I think of all the fun we had How I'd pick you up when you were sad And how your smile could light up a whole room I'm sure with a different point of view That we could surely start anew Our friendship, if nothing else just yet So grab your coat and will you meet me by the water Where we'll lose track of time as we're watching the day turn to night We never needed too many words to talk to each other But I'm finding you so hard to read in this flickering light And are our lives worth living If there's no light at the end of the tunnel And what is hope if not something real To keep us from the dark And are our lives worth living If there's no light at the end of the tunnel And what is hope if not something real To keep us from the dark So grab your coat and will you meet me by the water Where we'll lose track of time as we're watching the day turn to night We never needed too many words to talk to each other But I'm finding you so hard to read in this flickering light
