I cry because I feel for you
I cry because you never will
The pain of understanding
The ache of what never was can kill
I could see but never reach you
Drawn like an butterfly to the sun
Like a dream just out of reach
Our tale over before it had really begun
The years keep flowing
Like a river toward the sea
The feelings never stopped growing
Though you never really wanted me
I look back now through time
Knowing what’s beyond my reach
Every dog they say will have his day
But I guess I’m too old to teach
Old photos stir memories anew
Harbingers of bygone times
On one hand cursing our meeting
The other thinking of sad poetry lines
What would I do if you appeared now
Would I run and take you in my arms
Am I still the fool I used to be
Still a pawn to your wicked charms
The years keep flowing
Like a river toward the sea
The feelings never stopped growing
Though you never really wanted me
I look back now through time
Knowing what’s beyond my reach
Every dog they say will have his day
But I guess I’m too old to teach
Should try harder to forget you
Flush you completely from my soul
But I am still just too intoxicated
And completely yours to control
And so I sit here still
And I pray you can read my mind
I always knew you’d be leaving
But did you have to leave me behind?
The years keep flowing
Like a river toward the sea
The feelings never stopped growing
Though you never really wanted me
I look back now through time
Knowing what’s beyond my reach
Every dog they say will have his day
But I guess I’m too old to teach
I cry because you never will
The pain of understanding
The ache of what never was can kill
I could see but never reach you
Drawn like an butterfly to the sun
Like a dream just out of reach
Our tale over before it had really begun
The years keep flowing
Like a river toward the sea
The feelings never stopped growing
Though you never really wanted me
I look back now through time
Knowing what’s beyond my reach
Every dog they say will have his day
But I guess I’m too old to teach
Old photos stir memories anew
Harbingers of bygone times
On one hand cursing our meeting
The other thinking of sad poetry lines
What would I do if you appeared now
Would I run and take you in my arms
Am I still the fool I used to be
Still a pawn to your wicked charms
The years keep flowing
