Dominic Blaazer - The Lights of Te Atatu Lyrics

We were young, we believed our love was strong
Still just kids, make it up as we went along
Talked about the future with youth upon our side
I made a call, packed a bag, got to build us a better life
Sky so clear, looking from my window seat
My goodbye, I know I'm gonna find my feet

The lights of Te Atatu shine for me
They look like diamonds through my tears and jewels on the sea
If I ever make it back, will she still be there for me
Or have I wasted everything on a dream that might have been?

Tried so hard to get her on the telephone
So remote, I should have never left her on her own
Then somebody else came along and showed me my mistake
There was nothing I could do from far away
That letter was hard to take
I was lost, no matter how hard I try
Memories will haunt me til the day I see

Maybe I was getting to the place where I'm going to be me but I haven't begun
Got a little busy with the city and I never looked back
Having too much fun, too much fun

Time rolls on, while other people come and go
There's no love, nothing like I used to know
Buried myself in another life, working seven days
Spend my nights with an old guitar, play my pain away
If I could I'd sing this one for her
Side by side we'd walk along the shore
