As the world turns ‘round
I can see a glimpse
Of things gone by
And yet to come……but

What’s here right now is all that there is
Somehow I lost you in the swirling mist

There is no crime I could commit
To leave me right now in such a miserable state
I’m running ‘round in a half-baked mood
Lost in the memories I’d rather not lose

I never wanted to see the day
When our hearts would part, taking you away
Your memory lingers in my battered mind
These thoughts of you set my soul on fire

We can’t go back, this much is true
I can’t count the moments of a world without you
The road up ahead is paved with mystery
And the path behind us is now just history

Right now I’m singing a very sad tune
Tomorrow may come with a different mood
But it might take more than a single day
To settle my mind and wash you away
