Lost - Van Der Graaf Generator

So here we are, or rather, here I am, 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 till day breaks upon the land and the sea.

Hoping that I can catch all of the memories,

Then I must crawl off upon my way, all of me

Listening hard for the final words.

But there are none;

the sunrise calls, I’ve lingered on

Too close for comfort and I don’t know quite why

I feel like crying-

I know we’ll never dance like we used to.

I look up, I’m almost blinded by the warmth of what’s inside me

And the taste that’s in my soul,

But I’m dead inside as I stand alone …

Ii.

Dance in frost

I wore my moods like so many 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
