Last Port of Call

we may be far away
we may be long ago
still, I remember everything
- never think i don't

you come back to me
over and again
in dreams and memories
you dance back in

nothing will ever change all you are
nothing could ever dim your star
i still think of you every day
you're still with me every step of the way

I remember whispering while you were sleeping
"I don't want you to go..."
can't you see it's all for show?
I guess I hated you when you went away
of course, I loved you all the same

is it true your soul has seen too much?
if I was any help, i wasn't nearly enough
should I have been the one to calm the storm?
should I have been your last port of call?

should I have shown you the eastern sky?
should I have shown you first light?

we will never be together again
but we'll be alright in our new lives
I may not be yours, nor you mine
but a dance about on a winter's day
she will find her place
she'll be everything again
for who could fail to see what's blinding?

should I have shown you the eastern sky?
should I have shown you first light?

I remember the thrill I'd get
on my way to meet you
a pound in my chest I could hardly contain
walking those london streets
heading for euston
to see you step down from your train

should I have been the one to calm the storm?
should I have been your last port of call?

your last port of call...
