Things That Are - Runrig

She was the fairest

And her eyes shone of blue

I first fell in the autumn term

There was nothing I could do School lovers swarmed

Around the courtyard wall

Then walked on up The rapture road aglow

She kept me warm that winter

And winter turned to spring

We never looked round corners

To the changes they could bring

Her love was a dart

And I swore she broke my heart

The world would never turn

The same again

The things that are

And things that never can be Are things that we must bare

To share our destiny

I saw her again last summer

Where the hard rains fall

The grass grew long around her feet

Where the years took their toll

She once meant the world to me But we by-passed destiny

On the road not taken

The road unknown

(Chorus)

She was the only one

Eternity blindness could see

Our moments are rush and gone

All our pictures incomplete

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Oh, the things that are

(Chorus)
