I was standing at the corner
with the red pohutakawa
On a tourquoise wave free day
Arms close into the body
Right out of the way

And through half closed eyes
I could just make out
The islands through a soft white haze
And the dreams I had forgotten about
Flooded in in their own way

I've been away from love too long

I start to feel like my skin has
turned inside out on me
And the blood flows and dries in the hot sun
But inside it's still going to freeze
I need an introduction to anything at all
To start communication
But the words have grown too small

I've been away from love too long
I've been away from love too long

And although I can move
I have no direction
I'm at the mercy of the moon
I need to start I need it all
I've been away from love too long
I've been away from love too long
