Gone from my sight are the visuals of a cold deserted night
But the sound still remains
Starts as a murmur 'til it echoes into space
I hear it in my sleep as the long abandoned memories start to creep
But it's gone from my sight forevermore
Never meant to be
Like a broken once enchanting melody
But the chords still remain like a record that's been etched inside my brain
Mem'ries drift away like a cold and wet mid-February day
That's now gone from my mind forevermore
Now listen to me child, won't you please hear my advice?
'Cause I've made my mistakes, but I'd never make them twice
Hold on dearly to your cherished memories
Or Father Time will come and sweep them in the breeze, yeah!
Never would you know just how hard it was to make the music flow
But the song still remains like a bullet that's been lodged inside my brain
Here in empty land I carve a river through the arid desert sand
And it runs through my veins forevermore
