I AM HERE TO TELL YOU
WE CAN NEVER
MEET AGAIN
SIMPLE REALLY
ISN'T IT
A WORD OR TWO
AND THEN
A LIFETIME
OF NOT KNOWING
WHERE OR HOW
OR WHY OR WHEN
YOU THINK OF ME
OR SPEAK OF ME
OR WONDER
WHAT BEFELL
THE SOMEONE
YOU ONCE LOVED
SO LONG AGO
SO WELL
NEVER WONDER
WHAT I FEEL
AS LIVING SHUFFLES BY
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO ASK ME
AND I NEED NOT REPLY
EVERY MOMENT
OF MY LIFE
FROM NOW UNTIL I DIE
I WILL THINK
OR DREAM OF YOU
AND FAIL
TO UNDERSTAND
HOW A PERFECT LOVE
CAN BE CONFINED
AND OUT OF HAND
IS IT
WRITTEN IN THE STARS
ARE WE PAYING
FOR SOME CRIME
IS THAT ALL
THAT WE ARE GOOD FOR
JUST A STRETCH
OF MORTAL TIME
IS THIS
GOD'S EXPERIMENT
IN WHICH WE HAVE
NO SAY
IN WHICH
WE'RE GIVEN PARADISE
BUT ONLY
FOR A DAY
NOTHING
CAN BE ALTERED
OH THERE IS NOTHING
TO DECIDE
NO ESCAPE
NO CHANGE OF HEART
NO ANY PLACE TO HIDE
YOU ARE
ALL I'LL EVER WANT
BUT THIS I AM DENIED
SOMETIMES
IN MY DARKEST
THOUGHTS
I WISHED I NEVER LEARNED
WHAT IT IS
TO BE IN LOVE
AND HAVE THAT LOVE
RETURNED
IS IT
WRITTEN IN THE STARS
OH ARE WE PAYING
FOR SOME CRIME
IS THAT ALL
THAT WE ARE GOOD FOR
JUST A STRETCH
OF MORTAL TIME
IS THIS
GOD'S EXPERIMENT
OH IN WHICH WE HAVE
NO SAY
IN WHICH
WE'RE GIVEN PARADISE
BUT ONLY
FOR A DAY
4 BAR
BREAK
IS THIS
GOD'S EXPERIMENT
IN WHICH WE HAVE NO SAY
IN WHICH WE HAVE NO SAY
IN WHICH
WE'RE GIVEN PARADISE
GIVEN PARADISE
BUT ONLY
FOR A DAY
