Lyrics

Seems such a long time Since I thought about you
the way you looked ,the way you love me
Lying in a corridor, white wall all around me
I remenis a butterfly kiss

Seems such a long time, but its no time at all

The walls of this new place comfort a keep me
You had a hand in helping there
Soon I will cover the walls with pictures
Happy days in many ways

You are just around the corner
Sitting on a bus
You are smoking in a cafe
Taking care of us
you are calling every day
To check that i'm ok
You are whispering in my ear
Making it all clear, to me

Just when I lost you I needed to find you
I've read all your words
Tortured and funny
You were not living, yet you were not dieing
I'm filled with your humour
Calmed by your voice

Chorus
