Lyrics
Verse1
Waking up to the smoke and the burning
You are leaving and won't be returning
We are watching our memories go up in flames
All the love that we gave to each other
From the ashes we’ll never recover
Our house is divided with no one to blame
And I know you will go
I have nothing to show
But a picture of you and of me
Verse2
Making plans to get back together
Like a ball at the end of a tether
We are batting down forces beyond our
control
Everyday now the view becomes clearer
And your image recedes in the mirror
'Til I'm just a speck at the opposite end of the earth
And I know I am blind
All illusions are mine
But I stand here like nothing will change
Bridge
How can we look ahead
When all our dreams are dead
A lifetime of regret
Or a chapter in book that we will soon forget
Verse3
(Instrumental solo)
In a time of great tribulation
Steady words calmed the fears of a nation
We must always look forward and never look back
Final Chorus
And I know you had to go
And I don't have much to show
But a picture of you and of me
And I know I was blind
All illusions so unkind
And I see now that everything's changed
Everything's changed
Everything's changed
Everything's changed
