May the years be kind
May the years be kind
For all these years I've been so unkind
When I speak of you
Or when I think of you
I have crossed one too many lines
And they all say that is but a sign
By the way, that's true
I have thought of you
Even Aphrodite comes by
Delays the morning sunrise
It's you
Oh, it's you I'm waiting for
But to all the rest
I have killed your best
If you cannot be Dionysus
You never will be more than us
It's you
It's still you I'm waiting for
Well.
Some day I will find the courage to
Finish what I started
Time is cruel to me and oh to you
Some day you will dream of me again
Finish what you started
Light is cruel; the sun will take me too
I've read a lot of books
Of love that never comes to work
I'm Austen, you're Lefroy
If you're Paris, I'm Helen of Troy
Funny it's a conscious choice
We take on love with her measured noise
It's clear that we both hear, all these voices in our ears
Telling us that the end is near
Some day I will find the courage to (The kind of courage I must take)
Finish what I started (It's not a life I'd wanna waste)
Time is cruel to me and oh to you (Time's cruel to you)
Some day you will dream of me again (Dream of me again)
Finish what you started (Dreams carry no pain)
Light is cruel; the sun will take me too (Let not the sun take me too)
By the way, by the way
By the way, by the way
So I know, you know, she knows, he knows
But we won't
All these people that I've never met
They seem to see what's in my head
So I know, you know, she knows, he knows
But we won't
Some day I will find the courage to
Finish what I started
Time is cruel to me and oh to you
Some day you will dream of me again
Finish what you started
Light is cruel
And time is cruel
Light is cruel; the sun will take me too
