I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
And now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite
The journey's long
And it feels so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know that I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
And soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: Feb 13, 2013 - 12:20 That's about right. Disgusting gargling wailing, as well. Why do people sing in their heads so much anymore? Ugly. ipestell wrote: Appalling nasal wailing. |
| ipestell (UK) | Posted: Feb 13, 2013 - 12:19 More nasal wailing, sounds like being in Marks & Spencers |
| Bargamon (Carolina) | Posted: Feb 13, 2013 - 12:18 Bought this recording after its last play! Great "album"! |

| stevendejong | Posted: Jul 08, 2012 - 14:37 Zero 7 is okay, but somehow I find it boring. |
| Rockit (Ottawa ON) | Posted: Jun 20, 2012 - 09:19 Just a 7...no more. |

| Pedro1874 (Bolton, England) | Posted: Apr 04, 2012 - 10:54 More Zero 7 please Bill - from their first 2 Albums. What about some Tina Dico too - she sang with Zero7 and has made some great solo albums afterwards |
| CamLwalk (Albany NY) | Posted: Apr 04, 2012 - 10:27 This is nice. Beautiful voice. |

| d-don (Oregon) | Posted: Oct 10, 2011 - 14:53 I need a cigarette after that.  |
| gemtag (Texas) | Posted: Oct 10, 2011 - 14:51 Outstanding song. Great voice and nice guitar. One of my favorites. |
| (former member) | Posted: Oct 10, 2011 - 14:50 BIG Zero 7 fan. Thanks, Bill. |
| patrick30 (Austria) | Posted: Aug 04, 2011 - 05:51 Yes, Thanks!! Needed a mood changer! |
| MiracleDrug (Earth) | Posted: Jul 26, 2011 - 11:59 it seems a safe bet she'd know how to change my mood... |

| christopherwoods (West Midlands, United Kingdom) | Posted: Jun 02, 2011 - 05:29 I vastly prefer the end section - where the chord progression is I-IV-V, with Sia vamping over the top. Her voice intermingled so well with the instrumentation. That said the whole song's pretty decent, I just prefer the chord choices at the end (which is a shame, because it's the shortest part.) |

| Dude (Los Gatos, CA) | Posted: May 24, 2011 - 08:37 The rhythm and the guitar sounds a lot like Sheryl Crow's "Safe and Sound" (actually it's the other way around, since this song came out in 2001 and Safe and Sound was released in 2002) Very nice! |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 04:39 This has always been one of my personal favorites; that chorus is yummy! |

| 4merdj (donde el viento se devuelve) | Posted: Aug 26, 2010 - 10:27 I got to know this band through RP. I bought all the tracks in this CD, which I find to be pretty good. Too bad that Sia is not with them anymore ... Cheers y'all!  |
