Open Roads - Cerys Matthews

i took a ride on your fingertips

heaven high with the thrill of it

and in your eyes for a moment

it’s like we never said goodbye

we took a walk for the hell of it

and then we talked through the thick of it

and in your eyes for a moment

it’s like we never said goodbye

but sometimes went wrong

you never came home

and time takes so long

what are these tears we’re crying

'cos i remember the open roads

met at the corner where no one goes

and no one mattered at all

and i remember the driving rain

soaked to the skin these were perfect days

and i remember it all

friends is such a horrid word

i sit at home with the things we learned

you didn’t phone

and in a different world

we’d have never said goodbye

where are we going with feeling alone

time takes so long

and what are these tears we’re crying

'cos i remember the open roads

met at the corner where no one goes

and no one mattered at all

and i remember the driving rain

soaked to the skin these were perfect days

and i remember it all

and as for then and as for now

as for who and as for how

there’s just one thing i can’t forget

how beautiful you are.
