I have slept so long, for so long.<br />
There lies my regret, sighing and greiving.<br />
Had I known I could tremble so,<br />
What now I know.<br />
I would never have shown my soul.<br />
Leaping, like an eager flame.<br />
After all who is to blame?<br />
There lies my regret, shining and greiving.<br />
And as this evening falls,<br />
To close, for closed eyes.<br />
Take that backward glance,<br />
And see, see what lies behind.<br />
Recall the time when all the world,<br />
Just seemed to recline,<br />
Within our hands and was washed away,<br />
Like teh fleeting summer rain.<br />
Gentle memories of our finest day,<br />
Can we ever hope to regain?<br />
The innocence of youth.<br />
The sordid truth.<br />
Our visions turn sour.<br />
All colours change to grey.<br />
Goodbye my tender dreams.<br />
Is there a better day?<br />
Regain.<br />
To live on in hearts, is never to die.
