He was my day, he touched light to my face
I gave him the space, he took up my heart's place
Sun went down upon the love that ran out
Smouldering glow, I was never to know
I was the lucky one
I was his only one
I was the lucky one
I was his only one
Promises carved into the evergreen bark
An era that's past, I touched the lying mark
He left with the clocks, I saw the boat hit the rocks
I lived there before, now was I watching offshore
I was the lucky one
I was safe from harm
I was the lucky one
God I was safe from harm
He's driftwood of what he used to be
Can't hear his voice singing sweet
Siren calls to him to be free
I'm torn out now slow to see
I was the lucky one
I was safe from harm
I was the lucky one
I was safe from harm
I was safe from harm
I was the lucky one
I was the lucky one
