Cerys Matthews Open Roads
I TOOK A RIDE ON YOUR FINGERTIPS
HEAVEN HIGH WITH THE THRILL OF IT
AND IN YOUR EYES FOR A MOMENT
ITS LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE
WE TOOK A WALK FOR THE HELL OF IT
AND WE TALK THROUGH THE THICK OF IT
AND IN YOUR EYES FOR A MOMENT
ITS LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOOD BYE
BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG
YOU NEVER CAME HOME
AND TIME TAKES SO LONG
WHAT ARE THESE TEARS WE'RE CRYING
'COS I REMEMBER THE OPEN ROADS
MET AT THE CORNER WHERE NO ONE GOES
AND NO ONE MATTERED AT ALL
AND I REMEMBER THE DRIVING RAIN
SOAKED TO THE SKIN THESE WERE PERFECT DAYS
AND I REMEMBER IT ALL
FRIEND IS SUCH A HORRID WORD
IS IT AT HOME WITH THE THING WE LEARNED
YOU DIDN'T PHONE
AND IN A DIFFERENT WORLD
WE'D HAVE NEVER SAID GOODBYE
WHERE ARE WE GOING WITH FEELING ALONE
TIME TAKES SO LONG
AND WHAT ARE THESE TEARS WERE CRYING
'COS I REMEMBER THE OPEN ROADS
MET AT THE CORNER WHERE NO ONE GOES
AND NO ONE MATTERED AT ALL
AND I REMEMBER THE DRIVING RAIN
SOAKED TO THE SKIN THESE WERE PERFECT DAYS
AND I REMEMBER IT ALL
AND AS FOR THEN AND AS FOR NOW
AS FOR WHO AND AS FOR HOW
THERE'S JUST ONE THING I CANT FORGET
HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE.
