I am waiting with a ticket with a carry-on

People everywhere on their way, at a run

Then I see you from a distance

Light years later at fate's insistence



Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams

Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are

Swept away, swept away, swept away



You are standing by the pay phones, by the stairs

I walk straight into your arms and you hold me there

I am falling slowly backwards

Right into your famous last words



Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams

Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are

Swept away, swept away, swept away



All this ancient history, every unsolved mystery

Years I've carried with me, vanish when you kiss me



Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams

Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are

Swept away, swept away, swept away
