Wild and free, seventeen, you were only seventeen
And your mind was beating like a djembe drum
We were young, we were young, you were mine and we were young
And our love was burning, life was but a dream
I got lost a few times, you knew everywhere I'd hide
You would look and call and eventually I'd come
We were young, we were young, we got lost and we were young
But our hearts were always easy to unwind
Two years gone, you were gone, you were off to share your song
Off to heal the aching pieces of the earth
And it hurt when you left but I never told
You how, 'cause I wanted you to go and travel on
Travel on, travel on, we were young and you were gone
Off to heal the aching pieces of the earth
Oh, love, will you stake awake tonight
We can live tonight in between this
Oh, phone line, please be clear tonight
Let me hear tonight
Dear I need this
Ten years through, and you write, and I call you every night
And we close our eyes and meet there in our sleep
And you keep me a light in your window so I know
After all those years that still my home is you
Oh, love, will you stay awake tonight
We can live tonight in between this
Oh, phone line, please be clear tonight
Let me hear tonight
Dear I need the
Whole world to wait
The whole world to wait
