Would you mind if I set fire
To the time long acquired
Dare the night and close my eyes
To remind me where you hide

When all of this is gone
And I move on
Could you have been the one
To make me strong

Slow it seems that you recede
Steadily and less to keep
Subtleties of memory
In retreat they soon will flee

When all of this is gone
And I move on
Could you have been the one
To make me strong (2x)

And I tried to chase you
But I couldn’t find the place you fled
I tried to catch you
But there were frays that broke my net
If I could face you
I’d put your hand into my chest
You’d be mistaken
To think that anything was left
Left, left, left, left

When all of this is gone
And I move on
Could you have been the one
To make me strong (2x)
