Nome do CD: When The Laughter Is Over
Ano de lançaento: 2004
We were walking hand in hand
Walking barefoot in the sand
And this empty-headed would all seems so far away
We thought time was on our side
As we raced against the tide
And summer was an endless game the two of us could play
But when all the laughter is over
I'll be the fool you left behind
When all we had was a moment lost in the echoes of my mind
Was it ever meant to last?
Why did summer go so fast
And all those childish games we used to play belonged to yesterday
Dreams that slipped tight through our hands
Fade like footprints in the sand
And the castles that we made have all been washed away
But when all the laughter is over
I'll be the fool you left behind
When all we had was a moment lost in the echoes of my mind
