Standing on a distant shore As evening falls No regrets, i won't deplore Our twilight calls
Of all the things we've said and done They're past recovery A whisper in the wind that's gone Like an unsung melody
And i'm hoping and praying You'll wait for me As our time slithers by Inconsiderably
Haunted by these scattered hours And turning of the tide Still i shield this love of ours Against the cold of night
A siren in the distance screams Might as well be closing in My blood runs dry or so it seems Wondering what might have been?
What's all that shouting? Why would they care? My vision starts shrouding Maybe you're there In a last starlit glare...
Pain without gain was my game No turning around on life's one way street My visions and dreams Were too fragile to last
Guess our only crime was wasting time Not holding our love in high esteem Too many precious moments got begrimed Out of habit and by routine We were not what we could have been Like two puppets on a string Like a broken violin
