Our Ceasing Voice - The City That Once Had a Name lyrics

I returned to the city that once had a name 'Cause after what happened, it could not be the same But in a rain swept alley Your sweet scent seemed to pervade The oppressive air And the clocks ticked slowly As if their hands were afraid To run out of time We haven't met for what seemed like forever 5 or 6 years must have gone by I tried to forget - what a hopeless endeavor Nevertheless, I avoided your eyes As if the halcyon past we had dreamed away Was something to think of "only some day" And in the dead of an endless summer's night I caught a glimpse of what once seemed eternal And underneath the stars which lost their light That once seemed infernal I reminisced about a long lost future In which the halcyon past we had dreamed away Was something to think of "maybe one day"
