Too good to last, how those four words ring in my ears.
|
A voice from the past has been heard again,
|
Whether its real or not, I can't say I care
|
But my memory's going and my mind is losing its grip.
|
I'm walking on thinning ice.
|
Soon I shall be taken down, drowned in blind ignorance.
|
Its hard to bear but harder still
|
To tell the one I care for,
|
Please to say love is here today, but its going away, going away.
|
How can I fight a fire that comes from inside myself
|
That threatens a total end.
|
So much to lose when I still had so much to learn.
|
Its hard to bear but harder still
|
To tell the one I care for.
|
Please to say love is here today, but its going away, going away.
|
Millions of people won't know what I mean,
|
None can appreciate somebody else's dream.
|
Thousands of reasons for staying alive
|
Explode into fragments,
|
Dissolve into nothing.
|
As I prepare for the oncoming night.
|
Already I feel a creeping coldness chilling my bones,
|
Dulling my sight and mind.
|
Soon there shall be only sand where once water flowed.
|
Nature dies and is reborn, but I shan't weather this coming storm.
|
Not for me to die with children around my bed
|
After a happy life,
|
Though rain will fall and the sun won't change in its course.
|
Its hard to bear but harder still
|
To tell the one I care for,
|
Please to say love is here today, but it's going away, going away.
|
Millions of people won't know what I mean,
|
None can appreciate somebody else's dream.
|
Thousands of reasons for staying alive
|
Explode into fragments,
|
Dissolve into nothing.
|
As I prepare for the oncoming night.
