Lyrics

Be it far off near horizons
Be it closer than you think
There's a flame in you, yes only you
That flares for all to see
And though seldom will it flicker
Standing tall, aloof and poised
There a silent soft sweet core away
That shines like embers gold
If I sat and told you all I could
If I'd stay and show you all I may
Can you ever possibly imagine
That you I was yesterday
And if only once you'll listen
Hear my voice as on I sing
What was once is gone and buried
Yes, the past doesn't mean a thing
Can I get a key
(Why you looking towards the sea)
Can I get a dream
(Something responsible to me)
And it sounds, like putter of the rain
It seems like, screaming of the train
It's the knowledge the embodiment
It's the don't forget your name
It looks like what you're always strong
Its funny you always belong
And it's the end of life as timeless cause
Like wish there really was
You believe you're not so good
Or believe to not be great
But the sands of time need not decide
The mystic hands of fate
And it sounds, like putter of the rain
It seems like, screaming of the train
It's the knowledge the embodiment
It's the don't forget your name
It looks like what you're always strong
Its funny you always belong
And it's the end of life as timeless cause
Like wish there really was
And if you want to know if there was joy
(There was)
And if you need to find the light before
(There was)
And if you're searching for the answers
Wonder how or what has passed
If you need not question first
You'll be the one to answer last
And it sounds, like putter of the rain
It seems like, screaming of the train
It's the knowledge the embodiment
It's the don't forget your name
It looks like what you're always strong
Its funny you always belong
And it's the end of life as timeless cause
Like wish there really was
And the hope that lives, abides
And the love that you amass
Shall follow you forever
Yes there is, a love to last
