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
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
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


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

Ohh, ohh..

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
