[Verse 1] The evening settles on the town As colours fade from gold to blue I catch myself still turning round Whenever someone looks like you [Pre-Chorus] Some names drift away Some remain like echoes [Chorus] Were we only passing through Or meant to stay a little longer? Why does every distant moon Make the memory grow stronger? Though the tide has carried on And the moment disappeared Something in the quiet Still wishes you were here [Verse 2] The photographs have lost their shine The pages bend, the ink grows thin Yet every now and then I find Your smile between the lines again [Pre-Chorus] Certain sparks survive Long after the fire [Chorus] Were we only passing through Or meant to stay a little longer? Why does every distant moon Make the memory grow stronger? Though the tide has carried on And the moment disappeared Something in the quiet Still wishes you were here [Bridge] The night unfolds above the sea A thousand lights, a gentle view I cannot hold what used to be But I can hold the thought of you [Chorus] Were we only passing through Or written in the stars together? Why does every distant moon Shine a little brighter? Though the tide has carried on And the moment disappeared Something in the silence Still tells me you are near
