Retrospective

Struggle through the emptiness,

heavy hours of endless thought

of all that we had

and all that we lost.

 

Never been so torn,

never to be the same.

Love was no illusion,

my only reason to stay.

All I’ll ever need.

 

We had our day in the sun.

We had so much fun.

Gone in an instant

We were the dreaming fools.

There was so much to do

Gone in an instant.

Let’s not let go,

the best of us is yet to come.

We’ll ride the storm,

we’ll find a way to meet again.

 

Looking back

  on the distant track

  of my formidable years,

I want them back.

 

Didn’t we chase the dream?

Weren’t we living it as we ran?

It always seemed out of reach

and never according to plan.

All along in our hands…

…all along it was in our hands.

All along in our hands…

…all along it was in our hands.

 

We had our day in the sun.

We had so much fun.

Gone in an instant

We were the dreaming fools.

There was so much to do

Gone in an instant.

Let’s not let go,

the best of us is yet to come.

We’ll ride the storm,

we’ll find a way to meet again.

 

Looking back

  on the distant track

  of my formidable years,

I want them back.
