I found a tape in my back garden

A blue cassette covered in dirt

And through the dust the reels start turning

And played some memories stored in earth

As I hear your voice

It sets my heart on fire

That with all the noise

It sets my heart on fire

And I can't stop the reels from turning

I can't stop the tape machine

As I hear your voice it sets my heart on fire

I found a place

I thought was stolen

A place that's built on noise and needs

And in my hand it spins so gently

Fills a void rewinding me

As I hear your voice

It sets my heart on fire

That with all the noise

It sets my heart on fire

And I can't stop the reels from turning

I can't stop the tape machine

As I hear your voice it sets my heart on fire

Lay back down I told myself

How could I ever forget you?

As I hear your voice

It sets my heart on fire

That with all the noise

It sets my heart on fire

And I can't stop the reels from turning

I can't stop the tape machine

As I hear your voice it sets my heart on fire

I found a tape in my back garden

A blue cassette covered in dirt
