World Be Gone

Before we ever seize the day The calming of the season's end Life becomes a hidden play Imparted with a furtive glance Was it everything you'd dreamed it'd be Or illusions shattered into glass World be gone Or are you filled with loving The way that you promised us Long ago And will it tie us to the mast of our souls As in ancient lore And as I saw you standing there Holding your head in your hands Though it hurts to say goodbye Silver linings in the leaden sky One day we'll return again And surely we will make amends Consequences never seen Broken shadows on an empty screen World be gone Or are you filled with loving The way that you promised us Long ago And will it tie us to the mast of our souls As in ancient lore And as I saw you standing there Holding your head in your hands World be gone Or are you filled with loving The way that you promised us Long ago And will it tie us to the mast of our souls As in ancient lore And as I saw you standing there Holding your head in your hands
