Lyrics
Eternity
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Into a lifetime of the time
See flowers bloom then fade to dust
I watch each moment sadly die
Time the stranger called me here
Fields before me I walk alone
Each tear that falls is lost forever
And this illusion where time has its way
Stripping away the future
People standing still, waiting for a tomorrow that never comes
Eternity, deserting me
While time just passes by
Eternity, deserting me
Time...
Time...
My soul has touched
isolation
The ticking clock of passing time who never stops to see today
Time the stranger called me here
Fields before me I walk alone
Each tear that falls is lost forever
Eternity, deserting me
While time just passes by
Eternity, deserting me
Eternity, it calls me
While time just passes by
Eternity, deserting me
Time...
Time...
