He took a knife to a tree
Said something about eternity
And he carved his name deep in the grain
Next to hers

There never was a better time
To burn the books and breath new life again
To the end...

He was so mesmerised, in too deep
Down at the wishing well, daring to dream
And when he awoke he seemed alone
Next to her
Set adrift...

She had a date with the World
Went somewhere without speaking a word
And she took her chance, left in a trance
Next to him no friend

There never was a better way
These open roads, they're all the same
In the end
In the end...

And she apologised in her sleep
She was the last in line
Judas she dreams
And when she awoke
She was alone next to him
Set adrift...
