I heard you say
That this just won't last
And we're waiting here
In the frozen past
But I heard a song
From the corners of a dream
And I stayed too long
In the fading scene
And now I stand
In the light of change
I sold my place
I changed my name
I gave you all I had
Now I wish I was sad
I'd trade these glaciers for tears
Exchange my fictions for fears
I could face it for years
But I can't now
I'd wash the ink from my arms
Indulge this body's alarms
So I could keep you from harm
Somehow
Evaporation of faith
And the rain returns
The inspiration remains
While the candle burns
The evening settles and sighs
Once you close your eyes
You see the chances you had
And now I stand
In the light of change
I sold my place
I changed my name
I gave you all I had
Now I wish I was sad
