Too good to last, how those four words ring in my ears.

A voice from the past has been heard again,

Whether its real or not, i can't say i care

But my memory's going and my mind is losing its grip.

I'm walking on thinning ice.

Soon i shall be taken down, drowned in blind ignorance.

Its hard to bear but harder still

To tell the one i care for,

Please to say love is here today, but its going away, going away.

How can i fight a fire that comes from inside myself

That threatens a total end.

So much to lose when i still had so much to learn.

Its hard to bear but harder still

To tell the one i care for.

Please to say love is here today, but its going away, going away.

Millions of people won't know what i mean,

None can appreciate somebody else's dream.

Thousands of reasons for staying alive







Explode into fragments,

Dissolve into nothing.

As i prepare for the oncoming night.

Already i feel a creeping coldness chilling my bones,

Dulling my sight and mind.

Soon there shall be only sand where once water flowed.

Nature dies and is reborn, but i shan't weather this coming storm.

Not for me to die with children around my bed

After a happy life,

Though rain will fall and the sun won't change in its course.

Its hard to bear but harder still

To tell the one i care for,

Please to say love is here today, but it's going away, going away.

Millions of people won't know what i mean,

None can appreciate somebody else's dream.

Thousands of reasons for staying alive

Explode into fragments,

Dissolve into nothing.

As i prepare for the oncoming night.
