Lyrics

Why do our hopes and dreams keep turning into dust?

Questioning the constant disappointment as hopes and dreams seem to turn to nothing.

Why must our hearts concede when it comes to us?

Expressing the difficulty of relationships where hearts often have to surrender.

Listen, to the sound that's beckoning to hear

Encouraging to listen to a beckoning sound, possibly an inner call or intuition.

Seemingly out of reach yet lying there so near

So many lives we've lead, leading to this day

So many things we've lived through, promises and fears

What, was I like, when you first, called my name?

Love, like a breath, in the wind, yet so near

Enter now the time of pain, the reckoning of years

We'll never touch that moment, free from all your tears

Inside, my heart, my soul, desire to keep you close
