Ronan Keating - Wasted Light lyrics

That time when we were crossin’ the Atlantic

The moment now we reached the middle

You turned to me and said something romantic

“I’ve won the race and you’re the medal”

And all the ocean liners we were passing

Are nothing on a selling whistle

And as the waves were rolling we were dancing

Like we had enough to lose a little

So sure we were contenders

So strong and willing to fight

But it’s a long way down

When you’re far from the ground

And I’ve been falling most of my life

And though the sunshine’s on

Even after you’re gone

I feel sorry for the wasted light

Wasted light

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/ronan+keating/wasted+light_21052192.html ]

Spill off the port into a crowded mainstream

Looking for somewhere to settle

Soon enough we’re lost inside the mystery

We’ll be strangers before night settle

With so much to say we’ve said too little

Back then we were pretenders

So young and ready to fight

Oh

But it’s a long way down

When you’re far from the ground

And I’ve been falling most of my life

And though the sunshine’s on

Even after you’re gone

I feel sorry for the wasted light

I feel sorry for the wasted light

Ouh

It’s a long way down

When you’re far from the ground

I’ve been falling most of my life

And though the clock ticks on even after you’re gone

I’m just shaking hands with wasted time

I’m still praying you come home one night

Ooh

It’s a long way down

When you’re far from ground

And though the sunshine’s on

Even after you’re gone

I feel sorry for the wasted light

I’m still praying you come home one night

So here I am crossing the Atlantic

Maybe see you at the middle
