Guillermo Veloso - So Many Years lyrics

Left alone to play in the rain I kissed her tonight As she dreamt Her voice stared across the dream I felt the stringent pull of time I know and knew this for So many years There is no surprise on this trip The end has always been there since the beginning And love What of it? If it hides and plays Can it ever be yours? Desire is the beast And possession its bone.. But in the dark of a cold winter night I kissed her on a cheek and bid My nightly farewell Because I knew and know Candles flicker and extinguish Flowers wither and Memories fade into dream
