[Verse 1]

The weeks, the months the years

So hard to put it down

To know that one day

You’ll be gone and not around

And when the skies above

Call you out of this dream

With you, you’ll take a piece of me


[Verse 2]

I’ve never heard the beating

Drum of time so loud

With every tick another tear

Falls to the ground

I understand now you’ll

Return to dust beneath

As peaceful as a fallen leaf

As the nights pass on

End their rule each day

As the sands must blow away

Vagabonding


[Chorus]

Cannot, will not

Dare forget you

Cannot, will not

Dare forget you


[Verse 3]

In your Arcadia its edge I never saw

At peace, ascending trees

Distracted from it all

I blinked and on my lips

The first taste of a sin

Never to enter there again


[Verse 4]

And now letters faintly

Appear upon the wall

Your roots within this world recede

Their hungry crawl

My love for you adheres

To no limit or end

My keeper and my dearest friend

As the nights pass on

End their rule each day

As the sands must blow away

Vagabonding


[Chorus]

Cannot, will not

Dare forget you

Cannot, will not

Dare forget you

Cannot, will not

Dare forget you

Cannot, will not

Dare forget you
