Now
Now It seems so long ago
In a place where only hate could grow
The stories I could tell...
And I
I had a dream when I was young
When I was shining on my own
That lights would never fade
And now, for a while, I have tried
But I don't live there anymore
And I, I would wake in the night
But I lost that dream some time ago
Cause I've seen darkness fall
In the shadowlands
Now
I've seen you not so long ago
When days were long and nights were low
As far as I could tell
You
I saw resignment in your eyes
You traveled far too long to cry
You knew that I could tell
Now, for a while, I have tried
But I don't live there anymore
And I, I would wake in the night
'Cause i can't recall your face anymore
And I've seen darkness fall
In the shadowlands
So...
I saw myself from outer space
With a pale and blank look on my face
I stayed there for a while
Black
I've never seen a darker sky
But I had to go that way somehow
To see that sun would rise
But now, for a while, I have tried
And I've been searching high and low
And I'd never sleep through the night
'Cause I can't recall your face anymore
And I've seen the clouds go by
From the shadowlands
