miles of road

But I still don't

know where to start

What happened here

I'm on the shore waiting
F5 C5
For the heart of a girl

Verse 3:
Many doors
knock on one
Standing still
time is raging
Staring down the mouth
of a hundred thousand guns
And you're still here
you're still here
I believe that we never have to be alone
Yes I believe it's just around the bend
You can hold it in
Or you can scream it on a microphone
There is no end (there is no end)
There is no end (there is no end)
Deep in the night
I feel the presence
Of something that
was long ago told to me
There is a hand, guiding the river
The river to wide open sea
And deep in my heart
On any mountain
no I'm not afraid
Standing on stone, you stand beside me
And honour the plans that were made
