Текст песни
The night is slowly fading still i cannot sleep
My memory keeps turning pages of my life so deep
It doesnt want to listen tears my soul apart
Shattering my weary heart piece by fragile piece
I keep trying to catch what cannot be held
Returning once again to the things i loved so well
I see emerald dreams faces young and bright
So familiar forever frozen in their light
It seems i am simply getting older that is the truth i face
Nowhere have i felt as happy as in that distant place
Something pulls me backward quietly unseen
But what once was will never be again
I am not really living i just drift along the stream
Where i will finally arrive no longer seems a dream
Yet beside me sinful as i am remains the only thing
Time thats gone forever never to return again
Once again i wander sleepless slowly through the night
And i am carried back to childhood pure and warm and bright
I see my very first classroom sitting at my desk
By the blackboard learning lifes first tests
Skates on felt boots a ball tied with a string
And my mother there again with something new shed bring
Beside me walks that image from the long gone days
The dearest one the kindest in so many ways
How long ago it all has been it vanished without trace
Like an old black and white film before my face
I am still there though it is so far away from me
Flying to my favorite cloud wild and free
Though i havent flown in years i wont deny
Sometimes still i find myself up in the sky
Into something endless silent barely seen
Time thats gone forever never to return again
I turned the page from childhood into youthful days
Here is my love my foolishness my endless maze
Here are my mistakes and all my suffering
Here the waiting for first love and everything
Seems i lived a little sweet though not an easy way
The road was rough and narrow i must say
So much has happened sometimes i cant believe
Joy with anxiety happiness with grief
I keep moving on and suddenly i hear a laugh
These are my old friends though i remember not them all
Many did not make it through ill tell you honestly
So many have departed into eternity
And every time i wonder quietly unsure
How much time is left for me how much is still in store
Trying to reach what feels forever out of sight
Time thats gone forever lost beyond our might
Time thats gone forever never to return again
