lyrics

You said we both could run away,
A better place but not today

Just close your eyes I know you can
If you would take me by the hand

Time ticks away, but still you say
"I've always wanted to believe
That life so beautiful exists out there we just don't know where."

Well, honey, don't just fantasize
The world is right before your eyes
Just take a chance
You'll never know until you dance upon a moonlit night

Times like these and times like those
Nothing like the poets wrote

I took your heart, you took my smiles
The days were brighter for a while

On distant shores the day awaits
We can't leave living up to fate
When luckless tragedies eclipse the moon in moments far too soon

But life is not a two-way track
And once we're there we can't come back
With promised hope still comes dismay
I guess that's what you mean when you say

"I won't see you again"
And I know what we had has to end
Without a glance from your eye
Just walk away, it's goodbye

You said we both could run
You said we both could run away

You say
"I won't see you again"
And I know what we had has to end
Without a glance from your eye
Just walk away, it's goodbye
