Lyrics
it?s getting late, she said as she grabbed her things to go
I asked if I could take her home
she just smiled and shook her head
and it was a long way, through the falling snow
and in the morning when I wake up
from dreams I?ve had of her
there?s only sunshine stretching outside
only coffee in the cup
and it?s still a long way, through the falling snow
yeah it?s such a long way through the falling snow
I used to believe the best thing would be falling,
without falling
as though the sky was my own
but now I?d trade the stars, the sky and
even flying
just to take her home
And in the morning I could wake up
lie awake to watch her breathe
yellow sunshine stretching outside
and coffee in the cups
and coffee in the cups
