Sometimes I lie awake and wander in a dream
And wonder how my life with her could have been
She was just an open book with travel on her mind
I promised her life, she didn't know if she would go
We went away from memories of pain
Danced across the world, hoping for a love that never came
So let's turn around and see
That she's not gone
The future isn't you and me
It's all in our minds
As long as we find the time
And we'll throw away the past for a feeling that we hope will last
I thought we could try
How can I believe in a bigger life?
Annie, did you have to run away?
Did you believe that there was nothing left?
I had to say
You made a prison of me and then you set me free
Turned every moment to a sea of rain
The things we used to live together
The things we used to think about
At least next to your illusion
We'll swear our love
And so I go on wasting summer in the cold
But all about me
April leaves are growing old
I sat amid an empty room
I watched in fantasy
With visions of an angel moving slowly out to sea
I called across the waves
But she was gone
Soaring on the wind
Playing into a dream to meet the dawn
So it's time to rearrange
The news to what I haven't got
As long as I know
It's better to love than not
I may find it all again
And get caught up in a new surprise
I may find it all again
But the future is here
Then I fall apart as I realize
It's a waste
I know it's a dream
But at least I hope to heal the wounds in my heart
For the rest of my life
The heart we shared back then
At least your illusion
At least your illusion
At least your illusion
We'll swear our love
Another chapter ends and autumn reappears
As christening wishes fade away through the years
And darling if you fall in love another day
Don't give the best of you away
Don't give the best of you away
Don't cause any trouble
Just to be with you
Just to be with you
My sweet dream
My sweet dream
Don't waste your life
to see how you feel
But love is not something we are scheduled to take on
Bye.
