Back when we spent days
chasing raindrops and ink
seeking warmth in each other’s arms
summer passed in just a blink
playing dive bars, writing our own memoirs
you told a story with just one wink
We lived in the moment
together we were strong
your words, so sincere
perfect harmony in every song
With you, I finally found solid ground
With you, I was somewhere I belonged
Oh, how those bells did chime
a lonely sound in the November rain
If only I’d stopped time
crystal clear visions shatter again, again
When Autumn’s chill came to call
settling in to reap the night
tunes became hollow and I lost my way
Daylight left me cold, all alone after that fight
Didn’t take much to ignite fires that still burn
Should have stayed, loving you with all my might
But the damage was done, some things you can’t take back
magical journeys just a phenomenon
ghosts of yesterday still haunt me as I wait by the station
bags packed in the early morning dawn
I couldn’t stop you, this chance I blew
once battle lines were drawn
Oh how those bells did chime
a lonely sound in the November rain
If only I’d stopped time
crystal clear visions shatter again, again
