A Bond Like This

Once I held you in my heart
But that is now so long ago
Every day you're moving farther
Still I just can't let you go
A bond like this could never fade or blur
So don't be frightened of my words
They're never meant to bring you down

I'll hold my head up high
Hold my head up high
And if I never see the sun
I'll march on through the rain
I'll hold my head up high, oh-ooh
And if I never see the sun
It won't be too long for me to wait

Time is going to come to get you now
You can't run on forever
One day I'll catch up with you somehow
Then we'll be back together
Reforging a bond that still persists
Some shape or shadow always will
I let it take up all my time

So these are the final words I'll spend
We've spent enough together
If this is how you want it to end
I'll be resigned forever
To the bond that ties me to the ground
No hope of ever coming round
I let it take up all my time		Words & music by Marijn Ophorst

This one should get the full New Order-with-horns treatment. Possibly. Written somewhere during the Kismet recording sessions.
