So here we are, or rather, here I am, quite alone,
I`m seeing things that were shared before, long ago ...
my memory stretches and I am dazed: you know I know
how good the time was and how I laughed ..
Times have changed, now you`re far away, I can`t complain:
I had all my chances but they slipped right through my hands-
like so much sand;
I know I`ll never dance like I used to
I`ll just wait till day breaks upon the land and the sea.
hoping that I can catch all of the memories,
then I must crawl off upon my way, all of me
listening hard for the final words.
But there are none; the sunrise calls, I`ve lingered on
too close for comfort and I don`t know quite why
I feel like crying -
I know we`ll never dance like we used to.
I look up, I`m almost blinded by the warmth of what`s inside me
and the taste that`s in my soul,
but I`m dead inside as I stand alone ....
