W Harvey - A Past Less Travelled Lyrics

All I have to say is what's in my mouth
And bitterness and spite aren't company
And the memory of you will wash away in the night
Oh I pray you never see me in this light

Cause I only wanted what was best for me
Five years on in the dark, on the run from what I know
And I only wanted the best from you
And the selfishness ain't the same

When you're 20 years old with feet on fire
And a heart after desire
And the longest way to go
Is the long way home

What I had I count as loss
On account of who I was
Timing the line with the gaze of an eye
And the absence of company
Oh I pray you never see me in this light

Cause I only wanted what was best for me
Five years on in the dark, on the run from what I know
And I only wanted the best from you
And the selfishness ain't the same

And hey ay ay yay
The horizon never stretched so far
And hey ay ay yay
It's a journey to your heart
