Now see what has become of us And what has remained You gave nothing to me Except a moment of dead faint
I can’t recall the feelings That I cannot show No one yet believed me With each goodbye I grow
The song in my head longed for a voice Singing from the depths of my heart A fragile line on the piano I wrote Just to make the end complete
Seems like I have to take leave of you To find you again You played with masquerades I always knew Every now and then… now and then
Now see what has become of you A jail without escape This means nothing to me An appearance of a fooling shape
It’s the fate of mankind That no one holds the truth Yet the whit of what we share Leads matters to its course I’m the despaired twilight Seeing off the fading day A world so cold, a world so dead Is the place I have to stay
Time has stopped at the end of the world Still a good place to end in smoke For the ones trying to stem the tide Though just a change can heal their souls
Seems like I have to take leave of you To find you again You played with masquerades I always knew Every now and then… now and then
Kiss my eyes And wipe away the dust of sleep As in the first flutter of my sight I see your familiar face
