I recall the
roses blooming
In a city
neat and clean Where the houses bear the load
Of the things that they have seen And I saw the fields of sorrow
Where we sat down side by side
And a million scattered stones
Told a secret they still hide Yesterday seems far away
Near the cloudless sky All that I can think of
Is a
simple question Why?
Just a quiet city With your former school nearby
Though you sit beside me Even you
can't tell me why
It's a place of silent memories Where we're all afraid to tread
Where the answers
never come To the
questions
left unsaid
In this ordinary city Far too many tears will shed
And the years past
We must live the years ahead
It's a place of silent
memories Where we're all afraid to tread
Where the answers never come
To the questions left unsaid
In this ordinary city
Far too many tears will shed
In the shadows of its past
We must live the years ahead
The years ahead
We must live
