Roxette

In the coldest time of year
Darkness all around my heart
I was alone but didn't fear
To wander in the light of stars
In the bright and silent night
Winds would knock and disappear
Still I felt the feeling near
Like the first time you were ever here

You're so far away, so far away
You left me, you told me you would stay
You never said goodbye and I'll keep asking why
I keep on asking how, oh come unto me now

I have breathed the morning air
I have heard the four winds blow
I was weary but prepared
To follow down this lonely road
In the room where lovers sleep
Winds would knock and disappear
Still I felt the music near
Like the first time we were ever here

You're so far away, so far away
You left me, you told me you would stay
You never said goodbye and I keep wondering why
I keep on wondering how, oh come inside me now
I keep on wondering how, oh come inside me now
