In my time 
I have seen far too much 
I've seen more than enough 
Of my share in this world 
And in my day 
I've seen friends fade away 
And I've heard people say 
There's no trust anymore 
You wouldn't take me as your lover, and I know 
There's no way to recover the love that you've lost 
I don't know 
How to help you this time 
If I try to be kind 
You just turn on me 
But I have found 
That I don't need the pain 
That you used to sustain 
That you say keeps you free 
You wouldn't take me as your lover, and I know 
There's no way to recover the love that you've lost 
It's just a dream that I had 
It was so very sad 
It's just a memory I kept 
But it's a death I accept 
It's the face that you hid 
It's just a thing you undid 
It's the best of a friend 
It's the rest of the end 
I'll come back 
To this place once again 
But I just can't say when 
I don't know if that's right 
Travel down 
On the way to St. Cloud 
It will bring you around 
By the time it gets light 
You wouldn't take me as your lover, and I know 
There is no way to recover the love that you've lost 
You wouldn't take me as your lover, and I know 
There is no way to recover the love that you've lost 
The love that you've lost
