lyrics

you told me once it's easy to be kind
but where i come from, such things are hard to find

if time turns on a moment, well it seems we have no history
for there you stood with eyes ablaze at the moment all was lost to me

you laid your head beneath the sky, the morning opened up to you
the earth shone with the smell of growing things and i did not know what to do

i think that we were doomed from the start
but for what it's worth here's the saddest part of it all
i love you

if time turns only forward then we must have never had a chance
you can't hang your hopes on an empty dream or bet your life on circumstance

in the world external so it seems things only happen randomly
but in the hidden world inside us all there's a story that starts with you and me

this war could end, someday it might
but here and now, even in spite of it all
i love you

this life has been lived with a borrowed heart
but for what it's worth, here's the saddest part of it all
i love you
