The tears will fall away Salt will turn to stone Future turns to past Time will take you home Look into my eyes This is not the end This is the beginning It's only the beginning Of again The days are getting shorter now Feels like we're almost in the past Why is it that the longest days always go so fast? The clouds are rollin' in your eyes Here at the dawn of rain Why is it that we're so surprised When all we talk about is change The tears will fall away Salt will turn to stone Future turns to past Time will take you home Look into my eyes This is not the end This is the beginning It's only the beginning Of again No no no The laughter is so quiet now And always followed by a sigh Why is it that the hardest word Has always been goodbye? So come sit around the fire now September embers rise And I swear that I'll stay innocent You can sleep tonight The tears will fall away Salt will turn to stone Future turns to past Time will take you home Look into my eyes This is not the end This is the beginning It's only the beginning Of again The tears will fall away Salt will turn to stone Future turns to past Time will take you home Look into my eyes This is not the end This is the beginning It's only the beginning Of again
