Wild Heather
(N.Thomas/C.Stipetic)

Swallows swooping low over the marshlands
Pale sun fading fast still silhouettes the trees
And I live and breathe the same air
Ten years ago we shared before you left
Sands of time they say will heal the memories
Long summers gone it seems 'forever'
Wasn't quite just what you meant
And I live and breathe the same air
Ten years ago we shared before you left

       If you stood on this rock
       Where we last kissed and looked out on the moorlands
       If you could smell the wild heather
       Maybe this could be forever, one more time

This Godforsaken place has seen some changes
And with each change I feel an insult to our time
And I live and breathe the same air
Ten years ago we shared before you left
A hazy spring I think I took for granted
Counting petals that I assumed belonged to me
I'm a fool that's chasing rainbows
Through the sunshine and the rain and a spirit wild and free
