| So many years ago, I thought you were the one —
|
| who knows when people change, surrender into strangeness,
|
| adrift upon their lives, encompassed by the past?
|
| Who knows which one becomes the last goodbye?
|
| Don’t try to tell me nothing dies.
|
| Don’t try to tell me nothing’s changed,
|
| don’t try to tell me nothing’s new,
|
| too many of my yesterdays belong to you.
|
| I shelved my broken heart, I put you from my mind,
|
| I got up from my knees, I picked up all my pieces,
|
| but seeing you again puts shakes into my soul.
|
| Just when I think I’m finally over you,
|
| don’t come and show me that’s not true.
|
| Tell me about it, talk to me —
|
| I hear it coming, I feel it coming,
|
| the way you want this thing to be.
|
| You’re only trading on our memories
|
| don’t go and say you still love me.
|
| You’re trading on my memories,
|
| you’re trading in a rosy past;
|
| you know I’m lost on stormy seas…
|
| but I still stand before the mast,
|
| beneath the stars and under sail
|
| towards horizons out of true…
|
| Behind the dance of seven veils I still see you…
|
| Tell me about it, have your way;
|
| I see it coming, I hear it coming,
|
| I know what you’re about to say.
|
| You’ve had too many of my yesterdays,
|
| and I don’t want to fall again.
|
| Don’t try to tell me nothing’s changed,
|
| don’t try to tell me nothing’s new,
|
| too many of my yesterdays are lost in you. |
