Serendipity - Chicane

If I could pave your streets with gold

Would you be happy growing old?

I’m an ordinary soul you know

With a broken heart that needs to grow

As you live your life from day to day

I see all the things you throw away

The road you’re on will lead you home

Maybe I’ll be better off alone

I can’t remember how I feel

I can’t forget that time will heal

To feel my heart, to clear my mind

To change the saddest story line

With every story there’s an end

For every heart that’s on the mend

I tried to love I tried to be

The one you need completed me

And now you and I will never know

And a thousand years will come and go

So hard to carry, hard to trust

The light that’s threatened turns to rust and song (?)

There goes an angel on her throne

The clothes she wears are not her own

Her life’s in black and white, you know

She lost the diamond polishing the stone

I’m better off alone

If I could pave your streets with gold

Would you be happy growing old?

I’m an ordinary soul you know

With a broken heart that needs to grow

As you live your life from day to day

I see all the things you throw away

The road you’re on will lead you home

Maybe I’ll be better off alone

I can’t remember how I feel

I can’t forget that time will heal

To feel my heart, to clear my mind

To change the saddest story line

With every story there’s an end

For every heart that’s on the mend

I tried to love I tried to be

The one you need completed me
