Its just gone ten years since I met you There'll be ten more and there'll be a score and Still our fire gently smoulders and That little bit fire still glows close to your door Just enough to let the light in Just enough and no more Me the yang, you my shining yin Oh we paddled our boat and I lost my oar Must be nine since I loved you A love that would sink the worlds hate And, still our fire gently smoulders And that little bit fire still glows close to your gate Then its eight since I left you Since I put my foot on the brake I was just young and uncertain With much growing to do but you couldn't wait Just enough to let the light in Cut away with your blade! Hand in hand and skin on skin We built our castle of sand and I broke my spade So for seven long years and a day I have mourned I know you have too and if you only knew That I was just young and uncertain Left a hole in my heart for you to look through Just enough to let the light in You'll find a shimmering blue I watched you weary and grow thin Etched our prism of faith but I proved untrue For six years and five I lost my way Hurried along and been less right than wrong And in four and three suffered sickness And this cyclical dream where I don't belong Two then one the fire fades Our torch it dims now and it won't be long And for one or two you've been married away And I missed my chance to sing you this song Close your chest don't let the light in Bury this kist and melt down the key All meaning is lost and I'm frightened Now where will I go and who should I be? Shut my eyes don't let the light in For my mornings are cold And in the next life I'll begin again But as penance for now, I'll be growing old
