Once there were times love When we could touch the air between And out across this room We'd fill the space with all our skins And if we just touch hands Life would shine with electric dreams No matter how many miles Nothing hurt long distance hearts And there was always something There that space could never keep apart But now I know inside That something's died When we're apart All we have are empty spaces It's not like we're building walls Too hard to climb to make us blind It's just so much numbing space To hollow out the heart and mind And I can hear echoes of ghosts of love We left behind I'll always love April We fell in love and we planted seeds And now we walk through fallen trees And leaves are crushed beneath And I will always live in autumn Now we're agreed All we have are empty spaces I thought this was meant to be Our love had an energy But only as time evolved And all of our strength dissolved And we'll never feel the flame that burned so naked Again I walk through Kentish Town And all the rain, rain pouring down So many people here But space like this I've never found And as I get back home and step inside I realize All I have All I have are empty spaces
