You were someone I used to love
Sometimes I'm dreaming of, now
You're somehow, someone, somewhere far away
There was something we used to hold
Some nights against the cold, now
You're somehow, someone, somewhere far away
The rushing wind and rain have never pitied
The fallen tree that breaks before it bends
Just as the candle burns
Just as the season turns
It's just the way the world intends
You were someone I used to love
Sometimes I'm dreaming of, now
You're somehow, someone, somewhere far away
There was something we used to hold
Some nights against the cold, now
You're somehow, someone, somewhere far away
The setting sun must bow to the horizon
The rising tide upon the moon depends
Just as the river runs
Just as the morning comes
It's just the way the world intends
