Lyrics:
In the orange glow of an open fire
Saw your face for the first time
I didn't know what you would mean to me
When we set out in the morning
We all were dreamers leaving certainty behind
I was restless, always running out
Running from the past
But on that trail beneath a wide open sky
Walked a while beside you
Together we chased the setting sun
All that we faced has made us strong
And through it all you have come to prove
There's no-one braver than you
Red swirling sand, ghosts from the past
Erased the tracks that we left
Uncharted land, secrets of a man
Precious as water
That long cold winter nearly took us all
The pass was frozen, every step we took
Seemed would be our last
The dream we shared and the fire in our hearts
All that kept us from the wolves
Together we chased the setting sun
Our darkest days have made us strong
And through it all you have come to prove
There's no-one braver than you
With words left unsaid
We hang by a thread
Walk together in dreams as we lie alone
Now every day and night I keep
Listening for words that you won't speak
And after all do I still need to
Find someone braver than you
Find someone braver than you

Lyrics:
There’s no sign on the door
There’s a crack in the window
Never been here before
But I know that you are here
And I wait for you senses sharp
Can never close my eyes
And when I run
(Not this time)
I will melt into the night
(You won’t get away)
An empty room like I was never there
You’re the pins on my map
You’re the year that’s behind me
You’re the face in the photograph
You smile just to defy me
And you’ll never know how close I’ve been
I faced you in a crowd
Turned my head
(Not this time)
Held my nerve and walked on by
(You won’t get away)
A heartbeat and I was never there
Whatever separates me from you
An ocean or a door
I’ll always be one step ahead
Towards what’s coming for us all
There’s no sign on your door
There’s no light through your window
