Swept Away lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Old wounds, sad scenes
Love lost, bad dreams
Heartache, old scars, old walls
These are swept away
Swept away, swept away

[Verse 2]
You were 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

[Chorus]
Old wounds, sad scenes
Love lost, bad dreams
Heartache, old scars, old walls
These are swept away
Swept away, swept away
[Bridge]
All this ancient history
Every unsolved mystery
Years, I've carried with me
Vanish when you kiss me

[Chorus]
Old wounds, sad scenes
Love lost, bad dreams
Heartache, old scars, old walls
These are swept away
Swept away, swept away

[Outro]
I am waiting with a ticket with a carry-on
