oh fear don t hold me back again i lost my battles for you oh fear don t tell me silence speaks i know that can t be true i saw that train coming and watched that train pass me by i saw that fire burning only to let it dim and die oh friend i gave you everything but my solitary heart i turned and walked away from you and crawled back into the dark i saw that summer coming and watched that summer pass me by i saw that flower growing only to let it wilt and die when i turn all the lights out nothing s as real as before where miles apart looking out to sea looking up to see from the shore when the night takes over and the hours seem to start anew i close the door and forget about all the things i never said to you i know that can t be true1
