Wash your words and say goodbye
There's nothing left inside the fire
And all the embers have blown away

Stop the clock and sleep some more
This dreams your solace from desire
But you're struggling to stay awake

And on opposite sides of the road, a faint thought still lingers
And that feeling comes so close, or is it just the wind
A quick memory, a wish, some hope. Maybe one day it'll all return
But, we know it's over.

Wipe your eyes and brush them dry.
There's no use wasting all this time,
When you've got so much more to live.

Oh I know the tower was built so high,
Once a palace in the clouds,
But now it's crumbled and left to drift.

And on opposite sides of the road, a faint thought still lingers
And that feeling comes so close, or is it just the wind
A quick memory, a wish, some hope. Maybe one day it'll all return
But, we know it's over.

I don't know why everything has changed so fast
You don't know why nothing ever seems to last
And they say that a picture holds a thousand words, it seems this picture's speechless

And on opposite sides of the road, a faint thought still lingers
And that feeling comes so close, or is it just the wind
A quick memory, a wish, some hope. Maybe one day it'll all return
But, we know it's over.
