lyrics

Will you open your heart? Will you let us in?
Will you make a start?
Will you open your arms? Will you hold us close?
Breathing in the sparks

Are chance and luck just dark and shade?
All schemes and dreams are just a masquerade, just a hiding place
Till the days run out

Show her your plans and watch her laugh
Fold up your maps until you lose your path, till the stars shine back
And the ink runs out

I kept the letters that you wrote to me
Tied up in string
Like precious things
Is there a distance we can’t cross from here
Where nothing’s clear

Will you open your heart?
