Once upon a time
there was you and me,
we were seventeen,
and nothing in the world
could come between us.I stared in your eyes
on every summer day,
until you went away,
and left me in this cold cold world.A cold cold world of empty expectations.
A cold cold world of broken dreams.
A cold cold world, but frozen
somewhere in the earth there lies the seed
of another spring's reprieve.After some time,
you came back to me.
It was in the spring,
and all the world was
relearning how to sing.Knowing all the time
that you couldn't stay,
we made plans that day
to leave and never to return again.To a cold cold world of empty expectations.
A cold cold world of broken dreams.
A cold cold world but frozen
somewhere in the earth there lies the seed
of another spring's reprieve.Bow to the horizon, we set sail.
In a world with nothing left
to be discovered, we were discovering.
