lyrics

Losing ground

Numbed and bound

Silent tears

Burn these eyes

Loved once, now despised

Wake

Face this day

As hope recedes

See this light

Fading in time

When do you

No longer try in vain?

To reach out one more time

Opened doors

Closed again and again

You are always in my thoughts

Two summer children

Never forgotten

Shadows have fallen

On me

Walk away

One with pain

Within my room

All these words

Never heard

So far away you cannot know

My children

Never forsaken

Your light is fading

From me

You are always in my thoughts

Never forgotten

Never forsaken

Father bid farewell to your children

No longer there to watch over them

Hear them express their disdain (for you)

Too far away to explain

While someone else has taken your place

She is their keeper and their defence

Shielded as they are from your influence

Watch as they drift far away

Never again will you see them play

No one else can take their place

Sometimes living is all that is left

Some say another day is coming soon

So much time is lost

So much time.
