Long before the blooming of the holly trees
The feathers of forever in their final breeze
Was born a child - a face like mine
Dared to run from father time
'Cause time will cut your throat

The last time I was here I had the best of friends
The best of times have come to all the best of ends
Except for me still hiding here
Afraid to face the cold out there
You'd better take a coat

Where are the companions that were by your side
Assisted you in crime then helped you run and hide
Through minutes of hours and days of weeks
The years that pass, the doors that creak
Your friends, you will not keep

I came back to find you on the highest hill
Judging all your weather from your window sill
Your small ideals - they rearrange
The world is changing how will you change
With thoughts that cannot sleep

I long to see you swimming in a sea of wine
I pray that you are happy as your body's dying
I cannot help but feel regret for wasted time
Between you and I

But now the greenest grass becomes the bluest tears
The oceans of your touch drought for a million years
With all that happened before you died
I would've killed to say goodbye
Come back - let me try
