You can have but cannot keep
You can sow but cannot reap
It gets dark so fast these days
No sooner dawn than burn away
Light years away
We're here to stay
and fade out
To feel your warmth
And see your eyes
Where future of illusion lies
Like some sort of cruel charade
Believing you are here to stay
Move closer just to see you fade
Light years apart
The mind is lost in the heart
Light years away
Looking on to brighter days
Everything has gone
From blue to grey
So show me me to them
Show me right away
The air is thin
My head is spinning
When to stop
Where to begin
Looking on to brighter days
Holding on for brighter days
You can sow but cannot reap
It gets dark so fast these days
No sooner dawn than burn away
Light years away
We're here to stay
and fade out
To feel your warmth
And see your eyes
Where future of illusion lies
Like some sort of cruel charade
Believing you are here to stay
Move closer just to see you fade
Light years apart
The mind is lost in the heart
Light years away
Looking on to brighter days
Everything has gone
From blue to grey
So show me me to them
Show me right away
The air is thin
My head is spinning
When to stop
Where to begin
Looking on to brighter days
Holding on for brighter days
