Is Never to Die

I have slept so long, for so long

There lies my regret, sighing and grieving

Had I known I could tremble so

What now I know

I would never have shown my soul

Leaping, like an eager flame

After all, who is to blame?

There lies my regret, sighing and grieving

And as this evening falls

To close, for closed eyes

Take that backward glance

And see, see what lies behind

Recall the time when all the world just seemed to recline

Within our hands and was just washed away

Like the fleeting summer rain

Gentle memories of our finest day

Can we ever hope to regain

The innocence of youth?

The sordid truth

Our visions turn sour

All colours turn to grey

Goodbye my tender dreams

Is there a better day?

Regain

To live on in hearts is never to die
