Lyrics

Dover Beach

[Verse 1]

If I had the time

I would run away with you

To a perfect world

We'd suspend all that is duty or required

[Verse 2]

Late last night, you cried

And I couldn't come to you

But on the other side

You and I, inseparable and walking, yeah

Oh woah

[Verse 3]

We could steal away

Like jugglers and thieves

Or we could come and go, oh

And talk of Michaelangelo

Oh woah

[Bridge]

If we had the time (If we had the time)

We had the time

[Verse 4]

The day you looked at me

Pain was on your mind

The world is no one's dream

We will never ever find the time

Oh woah

[Verse 5]

If we had the time

I would run away with you

To a perfect world

To a perfect world
