Faraway Heart

This is a Faraway Heart, You'll never find me again

i am hovering now among the dreams passed
life is past and all is lost and i hope for nothing
life is long and sweet, how i enjoy the flowers of life
treasure every precious moment washing over you
because life is fleeting and soon it will be gone forever
we don't really know what life is but its what weve been given
idly by i wait for an answer to come to me, again
exhaustion from a long life, i am retiring now, aging
all i ask of god are my memories, put me out to pasture
too weary and sad to work, let me write you a song though
as i age i find i write the sweetest love songs
songs of things that will never be again
and dreams that were once so longed for but which will
never ever ever come true...and isn't that a miracle somehow,
that we came all this way only to have the game rained out
and we all go home wet and soggy, sad and dismayed,
somehow grateful for dry shoes and seeking our cars to go home.
