Once there were times Love

when we could touch the air between

and out acroos this room

we'd just touch hands life would shine

with electric dreams.

No matter how many miles

nothing hurt long-distance-hearts

and there was always something there

that space could never keep apart

but now I know inside that something is died

when we're apart

all we have are

empty spaces.

It's not like we're building walls

too hard to climb to make us blind

it's just so much numbing space

to hollow out the heart and mind

and I can hear echoes of ghosts of love 

we left behind.

I'll always love April

we fell in love and we planted seeds

but now we walk through fallen trees 

and leaves are crushed beneath

and I will always live in Autumn

now we're agreed

all we have are

empty spaces.

Ithought this was meant to be 

our love had an energy

but only as time evolved

and all of our strength dissolved

and we'll never feel the flame that burned so naked

again.

I walk through Kentish Town

and all the rain rain pouring down

so many people here

but space like this I've never found

and as I get back home and step inside

I realise all I have

All I have are

empty spaces.
