So long for now ~ A Burning Century
I was a bird on the wing
You were an open sky
I've never known such a thing
And it felt like heaven to fly
But oceans have come between us
And silence rolls in like a storm
Others are waiting to meet us
Soft with a touch so warm
It's freedom from falling
Soaring and calling out
So long
The end of a story
Baby we take our bow
And so long, for now
But I will keep you a place
Stay as long as you like
I'll never tell
I'd not felt it before I met you
It changed me
I'll never tell
So how does a bird forget flying
And why would a fish hate the sea
And I'll never lose you darling
You're in my memory
Maybe if I stop trying
Maybe if I sit still
You'll come back to me somehow
Either way I wish you well
It's freedom from falling
Soaring and calling out
So long
The end of a story
Baby we take our bow
And so long, for now
For now
I will keep you a place
Stay as long as you like
I'll never tell
I'd not felt it before I met you
It changed me
I'll never tell
