The clock still runs the days still turn
But we yearn for so much more
A stolen glance a dream of time
Of time that went before
The days go by the dreams they fade
But we gaze on empty shores
The ships have sailed so far away
Much farther than before
The clouds we reached, that once so high
As high as birds that soared
So low our reach
Too low to fly
To fly as once before
The shining light, that broke the night
Doesn't shine any more
The darkness creeps and falls around
Much darker than before
Before I've been here before
Before I've been here before
