[Verse 1]

Calling all stations

Can anybody tell me

Tell me exactly where I am

I've lost all sense of direction

Watching the darkness closing around me

Feeling the cold all through my body

That's why I'm calling all stations in the hope that someone hears me

A single lonely voice


[Verse 2]

I feel the sensation disappearing

There's a tingling in my arms

And there's a numbness in my hands


[Verse 3]

All the broken promises

All my good intentions don't add up to very much

And I realise whatever happened

Whatever happened

I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life

All the things I was always gonna do

Why is it now when it's too late

That I've finally realised what's important to me


[Chorus]

To think that everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart

Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart

Going over and over in my mind

I relive it one second at a time


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 4]

Calling all stations

Can anybody tell me

Tell me exactly where I am

How different things look when you're all on your own

Watching the darkness closing all around me

All around me


[Chorus]

And I'm lost with feeling of your arms to remind me

Of everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart

Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart

Going over and over in my mind

I relive it one second at a time


[Chorus]

Don't you know there's never been a moment when I haven't had the thought

That everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart

Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart

Going over and over in my mind

I relive it one second at a time


[Outro]

As I sit here in the darkness feeling so alone

And everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart

Could so easily be taken and it's tearing me apart
