It seems a lifetime ago

It seems a lifetime ago

As the rails cross the lane

Where once were we

Now its passing a mystery

The feelings then

The hope of something

New the season then

Delight of what was

Yet now if ever

Seems so far away

So now their passing

From January to May

From winter to spring

So sing the dreams

Of yesteryear

When the joy 

Of then 

Did set its heart

On when we

The chemistry

Depart

Now no more

Apart in matters

Of heart

Find we

Alone

Yet not

For in our doubts

And fears find we

The questions still

They wander in

But now this rest

Doth bring us round

To ground our hearts

And minds to you

You who formed us

You who know us

You who taught

Our souls to sing

And ere we find frail love

A fling shall surely if

We seek thee true

Find our one and only

Need we ere forget

And throw our hands

Up to the sky

Will not deny

Us of thy love

Most perfect

And complete

Tis all we ever 

Need
