Lost Songtext
von Van der Graaf Generator

So here we are, or rather here am I, quite alone
I′m seeing things that were shared before long ago
My memory stretches, and I am dazed
You know I know how good the time was and how I laughed

Times have changed, now you're far away, I can′t complain
I had all my chances, but they slipped right through my hands
Like so much sand
I know, I'll never dance like I used to

I'll just wait ′til day breaks upon the land and the sea
Hoping that I can catch all of the memories
Then I must fall off upon my way all of me
Listening hard for the final words

But there are none the sunrise calls
I′ve lingered on to close the comforts
And I really don't know quite why I feel like crying
I know, we′ll never talk like we used to


I look up, I'm almost blinded
By the warmth of what′s inside me
And the taste that's on my soul
But I′m dead inside as I stand alone

I wore my wounds like different sets of clothes
But the right one was never around
And as you left I heard my body ring and my mind began to howl
It was but too late to contemplate the meaning of it all
You know that I need you, but somehow, I don't think you see my love at all

At some point I've lost you, I don′t know quite how it was
The wonderland lay in a coat of white chilling frost
I looked around, and I found I was truly lost
Without your hand in mine, I am dead

Reality is unreal and games I′ve tried just aren't the same
Without your smile there′s just nowhere for me to hide in that deep inside
I know, I've never cried as I′m about to
If I could just frame words that would make your fire burn
All this water that's now around me
Could be the love that should surround me

Looking out through the tears that blind me
My heart bleeds that you may find me
Or at least that I can forget and be numb
But I can′t stop, the words still come


I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
I love you, oh, I love you, I love you
I love you
