CI'll be the Gwind in you leaves
Cthe warmth of the Gsun
CI'm Falways Gdrawing your colours
CI'm Falways Gtracing your footsteps

CIt's a hard world, Git's a cold world
CI could never Gsay what I mean
CI went Flooking in Gall the wrong places
Cthere's Fnothing Gwrong with you
[Chorus]
CBroken tel Gephone
CThe lines are Gdown
CThe wires are Gno longer reaching
CConnection's Ggone
