I've been so lost
Too uncertain
Down the long road
Walked on
Got the feeling
Deep inside me
I've waited so long
The mountain we're climbing
We're reaching so high
We're looking for someone
And wondering why
It's hurting too much
And we're searching so far
Hoping for love
To go on
When the best has gone
I was fallen
And forgotten
Found the answer
On the winds of time
Only heartache
Here tomorrow.
If there is no-one
To open up your life
Took me so long
I know just where i'm going
Took me so long
Know that you're the one
Took me so long
You're lighting up the fire
In my heart
And the mountains we climb
Seem to go higher
Look for someone
And we're wondering why
It's hurting too much
And we're searching so far
Hoping for love
Waited so long
Took me so long
I know just where i'm going
Took me so long
Know that you're the one
Took me so long
You're lighting up the fire
In my heart
If i had to spend my life
With someone else
I would rather be here
On my own
But it's all right
We will live and learn
Long as we have love
We can never be alone
(took me) so long
Know just where i'm going
Took me so long
Know that you're the one
Took me so long
You're lighting up the fire
In my heart
