Longing for a time of sanity I'd give my life, for a single yesterday Never will I be satisfied with these troubled years Romance of a falling dream Like clockwork, the sequence never changes He dwells in a fabled time The spell of youth, a fabrication These eyes will see, before they are seen I only wanted to tell you This is your time, now and here I come from a long way and a long time Take in these moments and capture the essence of you Creating this graveyard of memories Strange wish is granted with cold intent Sympathize with the way of life I am your straying shadow I am not anything more I wander through this place and smile at a laughing ghost Constant lingering thought, derailed Infatuation, obstruction, I cannot breathe No, no, no tranquility The years have moved on, my chance is gone These sites and sounds They swallow me whole I'm listening, though cannot see, the changes in front of me We learn as time goes on To stop and see The beauty in mystery
