Two hundred kilometres

Two hundred kilometres just for a kiss
It was something I’d never have wanted to miss
I’d have travelled a thousand for love such as this
My darling, my darling, for you
 
It was grey, it was cold, it was bleak, it was dry
And I hadn’t seen you to wish you goodbye
And the thought of you leaving so just made me cry
My darling, my darling, for you

I was frightened that if I asked, you would say no
So I left without saying, just decided to go
Up at 4.30 early and you didn’t know
My darling, my darling, for you
 
Dawn was breaking, the roads were all empty and clear
The sun rose in the greyness, as your town drew near
I was in it by 9, busy streets, aah my dear
My darling, my darling, for you
 
And I drove by the shops in my ancient old car
The roads were quite busy and it was so far
And I stopped at the junction before where you are
And I rang you, my darling, rang you
 
You sounded so angry my heart broke in two
It was if I’d done wrong, wanting so to see you
I didn’t know then what was best I should do
My darling, my darling, for you
 
But you said I should go to the garage near by
So I waited an hour just wanting to cry
Thinking you wouldn’t come, but not knowing why
My darling, my darling, for you 
 
But you came, my heart leapt, as loving hearts will
And I held your warm body, oh the joy and the thrill
And I kissed you - so good -  I can taste the kiss still
My darling, my darling, for you
 
Sometimes hearts speak so loud that you must listen too
And my heart knows far better, what it wants me to do
I’d have gone round the world for a kiss just from you
My darling, my darling, from you
