It's past...
Beautiful opportunity
Lost in standard retort
Unknown potential unrealised
The dance of standard greeting
Hides true intention
The sorry loss of familiar concepts affecting the reality of the situation
Damn shame how we just bumble on without worrying there and then
Without knowing it's now not then,
But it will be then and not now,
And we will be there and not here,
Demanding compensation from our ego that set us up for the fall,
And made no attempt to save us from ourselves,
and the beautiful dream walks away,
into yesterday,
With now way of knowing if it could of been,
Or if it would of been like it felt it could of been then,
It's gone on without you,
Without hope of recapture,
It's over,
And the night draws you away... And on...
