WOODS OF YPRES - THE GHOSTS OF SUMMER’S PAST lyrics

rate me

There is a comfort in longing for

Something that's gone forever

It shows how much that something meant to you

When it was here

To a person who claims

To never having had anything

They can be confronted by

The empty space where something once was

I could only remember feeling so bad

When the present time was passing by

Looking back now I realise

That the best and worst times in my life

Could coincide

My greatest achievement is also my greatest loss

The best thing I ever had is forever gone

It is a dark and fulfilling feeling of frustration

To reminisce and feel the opposite of anticipation

It is a talent of the soul

To discover the joys in pain

Thinking of moments you long for

Knowing you'll never have them again

A moment of euphoria

Inspired by a photograph from that summer

I remember how we hated everything

And in that we managed to find comfort in each other

Those days are gone, my heart goes on

I long for the way it used to be

When summer comes it will return

That feeling will become again

It comes on strong and so fast

But you know that it won't last

It's just the hauntings of

The ghosts of summer's past

And though they are far behind me

I can still hear them calling

As if they were right beside me

Tempting my comfort in longing
