Swept Away Lyrics - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I am waiting with a ticket with a carry-on 

People everywhere on their way, at a run 

Then I see you from a distance 

Light years later at fate's insistence 

Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams 

Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are 

Swept away, swept away, swept away 

You are standing by the pay phones, by the stairs 

I walk straight into your arms and you hold me there 

I am falling slowly backwards 

Right into your famous last words 

Old wounds, sad scenes, love lost, bad dreams 

Heartache, old scars, old walls, these are 

Swept away, swept away, swept away 

All this ancient history, every unsolved mystery 

Years I've carried with me, vanish when you kiss me
