She peeled from a stretch black snake which slipped up to the hotel door. Darting looks from piercing eyes -- The stir of memory and then no more. Well, you know how I have to believe -- She can almost remember my name.
It's been a long time coming, babe -- Long time loose amongst foreign hills -- Shaking my faith in this free will.
Years ago in a coastal town, mosquitoes buzzed in her hair. Schooldress torn and bare feet brown -- Then the rains came and she wasn't there. You're closing your doors on me when you had almost remembered my name.
It's been a long time coming, babe -- Long time loose amongst foreign hills -- Shaking my faith in this free will.
Sharp points in an ink black sky -- Faint words collide, then are lost. I'll follow you beneath this dome -- Win you back at any cost. I know we were children then, but you can almost remember my name.
It's been a long time coming, babe -- Long time loose amongst foreign hills -- Well, let's be children still -- Don't shake my faith in this free will.
