Postcards from the Beach Lyrics

The day you said you loved me
We made love for the first time
It was great, but it was scary
You were crying half the night

It was like we'd walk forever
Through the busy streets and hills
To the church up near the graveyard
With the statues grey and still

We just stood and watched the river
Wind its silver to the sea
I wished we could stay forever
Like two statues, you and me

There were parties, there were holidays
And postcards from the beach
Even then, I guess I knew that
You were moving out of reach

Now I'm locked in different visions
Of what was and might have been
As I try to find the secret
Of the boy I used to be

Maybe all good things are endless
Maybe time cannot be fought
Maybe I've lost sight of everything
And the lessons I've been taught

But I know when I first found you
You lit a light inside my head
Now that you are gone, I live
In darkness once again

Now that you are gone, I live in
Now that you are gone
I live in darkness once again
And I need you
And I need
