lyrics

There’s no denying we live far apart
But they’re funny old things
Oh the head and the heart
And you can hear
Chance whistling
That you’ll never, ever know If you never, ever start

I wanna run home and hold you tight
I wanna run home and tell you that It’s going to be alright
I wanna dance with you baby
And turn off all the lights

You have the Tyne
And I have the Thames
A long silver thread
With two separate ends

We whisper
Down the line
But with shells to our ears
We hear the sea
Every time

But with shells to our ears
We hear the sea
Every time

But sometimes
Wanting’s not enough
And all that gleams
In time will rust

When there’s salt in the air and our eyes
Like tangled chimes
The wind unwinds us
And we ring out alone
