Lyrics

Is the wind darker today? Did the sun move a little further away? Did color run out and fade from the sky? I guess I forgot we said goodbye.
So for you, I'll sing a song. Lend me your ears; I won't take long. Don't know how to fall out of love. Don't know how to fall out of love. And as the days go by I realize...
It was all about you and me, and everything we wanted to be. When time took a break if only a day, I just didn't hear you walking away.
Where is the sense of it all if we walk away just to fall...to fall?
As I look up at the Milky Way sky...how the stars reflected your eyes.
I was overwhelmed by it all. Now fallen down; can't even crawl. And you were so beautiful. Mountains felt pretty movable. And as the days go by I realize...
It was all about you and me, and everything we wanted to be. When time took a break if only a day, I just didn't hear you walking away.
Where is the sense of it all if we walk away just to fall...to fall?
Hope? I guess I can try, but I don't know how to say goodbye.
It was all about you and me, and everything we wanted to be. When time took a break if only a day, I just didn't hear you walking away.
Where is the sense of it all if we walk away just to fall? Why in God's name did we walk away just to fall?
