Woods Of Ypres - The Ghosts Of Summer's Past lyrics

There is a comfort in longing for Something that's gone forever It shows how much that something meant to you When it was here To a person who claims To never having had anything They can be confronted by The empty space where something once was I could only remember feeling so bad When the present time was pa**ing by Looking back now I realise That the best and worst times in my life Could coincide My greatest achievement is also my greatest loss The best thing I ever had is forever gone It is a dark and fulfilling feeling of frustration To reminisce and feel the opposite of anticipation It is a talent of the soul To discover the joys in pain Thinking of moments you long for Knowing you'll never have them again A moment of euphoria Inspired by a photograph from that summer I remember how we hated everything And in that we managed to find comfort in each other Those days are gone, my heart goes on I long for the way it used to be When summer comes it will return That feeling will become again It comes on strong and so fast But you know that it won't last It's just the hauntings of The ghosts of summer's past And though they are far behind me I can still hear them calling As if they were right beside me Tempting my comfort in longing
