Breathe some faith into my chest
Lay me down, i need the rest

Ever since the sky turned grey
I've waited for the perfect day

Hey now - it seems
You've always touched me like the sun

There's no escape for the broken-hearted
There's no return once you've lost your way
I say a prayer now our love's departed
That you'll come back to stay and bring the perfect day

Blinded by a crazy light
I fell into the darkest night
Those magic ties, the two of us
I couldn't see it turn to dust

Hey now - it seems you've always reached me like the sun

There's no escape for the broken-hearted
There's no return once you've lost your way
I say a prayer now your love's departed
That you'll come back to stay
Bring back the perfect day

Hey now - it seems...
