The day you said you loved me   We made love for the first time   It was great, but it was scary   You were crying half the night      It was like we'd walk forever   Through the busy streets and hills   To the church up near the graveyard   With the statues grey and still      We just stood and watched the river    Wind its silver to the sea   I wished we could stay forever   Like two statues, you and me      There were parties, there were holidays   And postcards from the beach   Even then, I guess I knew that   You were moving out of reach      Now I'm locked in different visions   Of what was and might have been   As I try to find the secret   Of the boy I used to be      Maybe all good things are endless   Maybe time cannot be fought   Maybe I've lost sight of everything   And the lessons I've been taught      But I know when I first found you   You lit a light inside my head   Now that you are gone, I live   In darkness once again      Now that you are gone, I live in   Now that you are gone   I live in darkness once again   And I need you   And I need
