Lyrics

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 ...
