I had so much to say
but no words to speak
The feelings were strong
but I was only weakSo there we were again
tragic and absurd
choking on every line
And every final wordA few pages from an old diary
a dusty shelf, an unread history
All these words and memories
are all of you that's really left for meAnd a fading memory
can't cloud the pain
When the voice is gone
The words still remain
And the years that fall away
can't stop the rains
When illusion's gone
the truth still remainsA few lines from life's long soliloquy
a dying voice in one part harmony
All these words and memories
are all of you that's really left for meAnd a fading memory
can't cloud the pain
When the voice is gone
the words still remainAnd the years that fall away
can't stop the rains
When illusion's gone
the truth still remains
A final moment of clarity
a touch, a look, a last apology
All these words and memories
are all of you that's left for meAnd a fading memory
can't cloud the pain
When the voice is gone
the words still remainAnd the years that fall away
can't stop the rains
When illusion's gone
the truth still remainsWhere is the way
where is direction
the ever open arms
of over protection
Where is the hope
where is laughter
the wild winter dreams
of happy ever afterDeep in the night
underneath the darkest skies
searching for a sign or some distant light
Screaming yet unheard
repeating every line
and every final wordThey remain, they remain
you still remain
All these words and memories
and everything you were to me
they remain, they remain
you still remainAnd here I am again
tragic and absurd
repeating every line
and every final word
