Da, da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da, da-da, da

Been waiting for so long

The winds have grown strong

The birds have come and gone, hm

I'm looking every day

But you might still be

A thousand miles away

Do you know I'm holding on?

Hoping, looking in the distance as I sing our song

Da, da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da, da

Da-da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da

Da, da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da, da

Da-da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da

You took you shield and sword

Said you have to go

Left me and went to war

Now I'm looking at the moon

Nothing left of you

But this little tune (da, da-da, da-da)

Do you know I'm holding on?

Hoping, looking in the distance as I sing our song

Da, da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da, da

Da-da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da

Da, da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da, da

Da-da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da

The seasons come and go

Sun covered in snow

The trees turned into stone

My eyes are slowly closing

But I keep on hoping

Try to keep them open

Try to keep them

And just in case I miss you

Please wake me with a kiss

Would you wake me with a kiss?

Would you wake me with a—

Da, da-da, da-da, da

Da-da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da, da-da, da

Da-da-da, da-da, da

Da, da-da da-da da

Da-da-da, da-da, da
