Sole Desire

Tried my best to make it last

The precious moments now have passed

Slipped through my fingers like quicksand

Blown in the autumn wind

My sole desire

This candlelight is burning fast

Fading from present to the past

Soon there will be nothing left

But an echo of

My sole desire

There is nothing of permanence

In this world

Nothing is meant to last

In this world

Nothing of love remains

Beyond the grave

Time has passed and now you're gone

I dream of all we could have done

But there is no turning back the tide

Now that your love for me has died

My sole desire
