Once there was a time of a never-ending dream Of being free, of immortality When a song was a mystery And the stars so easy to reach But something changed now the sand's trickling slow The time of innocence is over now I know the rivers won't be flowing on forevermore The wind of time blows right into my eyes My flower withers and so do they all Nothing lasts forevermore Why is my fate that I will never see The story's end, the final truth to be And to you lights that help me through the dark My greatest fear is losing your spark I know the rivers won't be flowing on forevermore The wind of time blows right into my eyes My flower withers and so do they all Nothing lasts forevermore I see the days go by and feel the snow is falling down I've seen the end is waiting by my side The dream is lost, once I was told It's gone forevermore I know the rivers won't be flowing on forevermore The wind of time blows right into my eyes My flower withers and so do they all Nothing lasts forevermore For evermore
