Far away from home
And everyone i really know
All at once i find
I'm a stranger even to myself
And like the snow that's falling
I've never been so pure before
Christiania, before i leave you
You'll leave a mark on me
I like the way you smile
I like the way you try too hard
And in my heart this moment
I like the way you seem to read my mind
And what would i not say
To be in that room again
If only for one moment
That you would hold me
In your tiny hand, and i might say
Tomorrow i could find you, and you might take
Something that i thought i could never give away
If just to think i've something more to show
And as i touch the sky
I feel the space i've left behind
So carry me back home
Out on my own, i, like in a living dream
And all the lights of london
Are like a million reproachful eyes
Tomorrow i'll be walking a different city
Beneath a different sky
And what would i not say
If we were in that room again
If only for one lifetime
You would take me
In your tiny hand, to a place
Where i know that i can find you
To a place,
Where everything i've done and i've done has gone away
If just to show me something i don't know
