I could talk to you for hoursnAt any time of daynYet the talking never makesnThis cruel ache go awaynnIt’s the years that hold us backnAnd the miles I have to gonDidn’t look so farnOn the guide to the short wave radionnSo kiss me in the nightnDismantle my whole lifenTrade private kisses in a public placenWith a secret smile upon our facennCome kiss me in the nightnTake tender libertiesnI love you for the flawsnAnd the inconsistenciesnnAnd someone else will comenTo make you cry and laughnThe world will stumble onnWith me and my wounded heartnnI miss you when I sleepnI miss you when I singnA fool it was who saidnThat true love conquers everythingnnSo kiss me in the nightnOne kiss for my whole lifenUnfurl your fingers from the sheetsnI’ll stroke your hair to help you sleepnnAnd a lost and broken voicenWill crackle through the nightnBring comfort on the wavesnTo the pirates and the stowawaysnnThe years that hold us backnThe miles we’ll never knownThey didn’t look so farnOn the guide to the short wave radionnIt didn’t look so farnIt didn’t look so farnIt didn’t look so far my lovenOn the guide to the short wave radio love
