Lyrics:

Too good to last
How those four words ring in my ears
A voice from the past has been heard again
Whether it's real or not, I can't say I care
But my memory's goin' and my mind is losin' its grip
I'm walkin' on thinnin' ice
Soon I shall be taken down, drowned in blind ignorance
It's hard to bear but harder still to tell the one I care for
Please to say love is here today
But it's goin' away, goin' away

How can I fight a fire that comes from inside myself
That threatens a total end
So much to lose when I still had so much to learn
It's hard to bear but harder still to tell the one I care for
Please to say love is here today
But it's goin' away, goin' away

Millions of people, won't know what I mean
None can appreciate somebody else's dream
Thousands of reasons for staying alive
Explode into fragments, dissolve into nothin'
As I prepare for the oncoming night

Already I feel a creeping coldness, chilling my bones
Dulling my sight and mind
Soon there shall be only sand where once water flowed
Nature dies and is reborn but I shan't weather this coming storm
Not for me to die with children around my bed
After a happy life
Though rain will fall and the sun won't change in its course
It's hard to bear but harder still to tell the one I care for
Please to say love is here today
But it's goin' away, goin' away

Millions of people, won't know what I mean
None can appreciate somebody else's dream
Thousands of reasons for staying alive
Explode into fragments, dissolve into nothin'
As I prepare for the oncoming night
