Came from the west

Only to fly again

The eyes that see

The lips that tell no tales

Nobody's guest

Dressed like a mannequin

Put out to sea

Before the ship had sails

I have always dreamed that somewhere in your heart

There's a guiding light still shines

For our lives and times we should have spent together

But we passed each other by

Like seasons out of time

Easter you left

Changed more than anyone

I asked you why

You told me "Just because"

Nobody guessed

Under your influence

The man I am

Is not the man I was

We have lived our lives across this great divide

I couldn't make you change your mind

And we almost glimpsed a promise of forever

But we passed along the way

Like seasons out of time

Sometimes everything is hard to bear

Let go, following without a care

Still now, though it's hard to understand

We built on shifting sand

Somehow memories are more than this

Set free only with a deathly kiss

And now, when the restless hour is high

A million stars go by

We never can remember

All the lives we've lived before

The days decline in number

Slip the ropes away from shore

Whenever Heaven calls us

There's regret and compromise

And in another distance

Lies a past unrealised

Where are you now?

Who are you now?

Is anyone really gone?

In all the world

In all this space

The race is run

I have always dreamed that somewhere in your heart

There's a guiding light still shines

For our lives and times we should have spent together

But we passed each other by

Like seasons out of time
