[Verse 1] I stood on the windswept cliffs I waited for you Salt on my coat sleeves Cold in my hands too Your name in my mouth Like a stone I kept Every gull overhead Knew the words I left [Pre-Chorus] The tide kept coming in Taking my footsteps slow I said I’d stay right here Till your shadow showed [Chorus] I stood on the windswept cliffs I waited for you I waited for you And the sky went blue I stood on the windswept cliffs I waited for you (Waited for you) Till the dark came through [Verse 2] Your car never came Your voice never broke Just a red painted line On the edge of the coast I traced every crack In the rock under me Like a map of the ache You could not see [Pre-Chorus] The tide kept coming in And I let it rise I held your silence Like a fire in my eyes [Chorus] I stood on the windswept cliffs I waited for you I waited for you And the sky went blue I stood on the windswept cliffs I waited for you (Waited for you) Till the dark came through [Bridge] If you were lost out there I would still call your name But the wind only answered With a shape of rain So I turned my face From the open sea And the whole cold world Fell back to me [Chorus] I stood on the windswept cliffs I waited for you I waited for you And the sky went blue I stood on the windswept cliffs I waited for you (Waited for you) Till I let you go
