Come now sister don't you wait for the sky to clear
I have never seen it rain so truly
Find somewhere to sleep this bus stop's sinking like a pew
They can wait till morning or a week, or two

I came here not for love but for the possibility
Of setting free the love we knew for all of time
Don't you remember that I said that I would not forget
Your memory is safe with me
In your memory

Strange how things just come to me in my sleep
Climb the rolling hills that are so steep
And I dont recognize you and all you need is
Knowing we know each other so well
I will be the hunter and you can light the fire
Keep it burning until i return as darkness falls over to take you
ooooooooh x4

All the way to whaler's cove, the country side and me
Every little thing is still in it's place
If it were hours where I thought that I would be
Surely I would know it in my bones

I came here not for love but for the possibility
Of setting free the love we knew for all of time
Don't you remember that I said that I would not forget
Your memory is safe with me
In your memory

The only thing I know is I'm not sure
Where I left they keys to all the doors
And now that I am here I dont know why
Everybody is the same

I will be the hunter and you can light the fire
Keep it burning until I return as darkness falls over to take you
ooooooooh x4

    Lyric Correction:Come now sister don't you wait for the sky to clear
    I have never seen it rain so truly
    Let's find somewhere to sleep this bus stop's sinking like a pier
    They can wait till morning or a week, or two

    I came here not for love but for the possibility
    Of setting free the love we knew for all of time
    Don't you remember I said that I would not forget
    Your memory is safe with me
    And you're heavenly

    The strangest things come to me in my sleep
    Climb the rolling hills ever so steep
    And I dont recognize you, nor you me
    Still we know each other so well
    I will be the hunter and you can light the fire
    Keep it burning until I return as darkness falls I'll prove it in time to you
    ooooooooh x4

    All the way to whaler's cove, the country side and me
    Every little thing still in its place
    If it were that I was where I thought that I would be
    Surely I would know it in my bones

    I came here not for love but for the possibility
    Of setting free the love we knew for all of time
    Don't you remember that I said that I would not forget
    Your memory is safe with me
    And you're heavenly

    The only thing I know is I'm not sure
    Where I left the keys to all the doors
    And now that I am here I dont know why
    Everybody looks the same

    I will be the hunter and you can light the fire
    Keep it burning until I return as darkness falls I'll prove it in time to you
    ooooooooh x4

    I'm not sure on the end of the "Keep it burning" line. It's really hard to hear. What I have there is the only thing that makes even a little bit of sense. There's definitely the "oov" sound though.
