I take the long way home
Over the bridges one morning in Västerleden
They have built a parking lot over the apple orchard
Where we filmed movies
I take the long way home
The gravel is cracking, dust in the spring sun
Tussilago like gold in the edge of the ditch
You said that you never wanted to see me again
And I saw it coming
Here it comes again
Like a rain over warm water
Like tears and blood in the sand
Like a killer in the night
Come and meet me on the western beach
A white rose in your hand
Now there is no easy way back
But I still try to text you one last time
Just want to say that I have woken up now
That I think we can maybe start again
Like a rain over warm water
Like tears and blood in the sand
Like a killer in the night
Come and meet me on the western beach
A white rose in your hand
Even though it has gone 24 years I can still
Remember every detail you quiet little one, there in the rain
And "In Liverpool" on repeat
Even though we live on different continents now a million miles
From each other, I remember those days like those
Best that they ran into each other and disappeared
Like a rain over warm water
(You can say when we have disappeared)
Like tears and blood in the sand
(Between my fingers like sand)
Like a killer in the night
(You can say when we have disappeared)
Come and meet me on the western beach
A white rose in your hand
