I take the long way home
Over the bridges one morning on Västerleden
They have built car parks over the apple orchards
Where we recorded our films
I take the long way home
The gravel crunches, dust in the spring sun
Tussilago like gold by the ditch's edge
You said that you never want to see me again
And I said it will come
And here it comes again
Like a rain over warm waters
Like tears and blood in the sand
Like a murderer through the night
Come and meet me on the left bank
A white rose in your hand
Now there is no simple way back
But I try anyway to reach you one last time
Just want to say that I am awake now
That I believe that maybe we can start over like new
Like a rain over warm waters
Like tears and blood in the sand
Like a murderer through the night
Come and meet me on the left bank
A white rose in your hand
Even if 24 years have gone by since the last time, I can still
remember every detail - your silent little one bedroom apartment in the rain
And "In Liverpool" on repeat
Though we live on different continents, now a million miles
from each other, so I still remember those days as the best, they glided into us both and disappeared
Like a rain over warm waters
Can you say when we disappeared
Like tears and blood in the sand
Between my fingers like sand
Like a murderer through the night
Can you say when we disappeared
Come and meet me on the left bank
A white rose in your hand
