Sadness now
Yet my life goes on
The night and morning gone
Lost in the air
Now I watch for the afternoon
Why does it come so soon?
That isn't fair

Yesterday you lay beside me
Touched my hand
The world was fine
Spoke of how your love would guide me
Down thru' summer
You would stay here and be mine

All our words disappeared somehow
They have no meaning now
Dust in my hand
I don't care if I live or die
Days go on drifting by
They understand

Tell me why I need tomorrow
Seasons change but sadness stays
Evening comes to dull my sorrow
Paints the dusk in sullen shades of grey

Now I know all love is wasted
Love is born so it can die
Now I know all I have tasted
Down thru' summer
You would stay here and be mine
