Swept Away

I am waiting with a ticket with a carry-on
People everywhere on their way, at a run
Then I see you from a distance
Light years later at fate’s insistence
Old wounds, sad scenes
Love lost, bad dreams
Heartache, old scars, old walls
These are swept away
Swept away, swept away
You were standing by
The pay phones, by the stairs
I walk straight into your arms
And you hold me there
I am falling
Slowly backwards
Right into your
Famous last words
Old wounds, sad scenes
Love lost, bad dreams
Heartache, old scars, old walls
These are swept away
Swept away, swept away
All this ancient history
Every unsolved mystery
Years, I’ve carried with me
Vanish when you kiss me
Old wounds, sad scenes
Love lost, bad dreams
Heartache, old scars, old walls
These are swept away
Swept away, swept away
I am waiting with a ticket with a carry-on
