World moved on

​

I wonder who will listen to this song

Who will know that I was here and gone

When time has passed and my days are done

Will you remember being in my arms

 

I need your faith to carry on

When the hour’s late and the shadows long - and the world moves on

 

I dreamed I saw you but I could not hear

Your voice was silent but your eyes were clear

You pulled me close and whispered in my ear

“I’m traveling on but I’ll always be near”

 

I woke up cold before dawn

I called your name but you were gone - and the world moved on

   

My eyes have seen what they should never see

My ears hear stories I refuse to believe

Like a ship caught out in a stormy sea

My path is changing, I don’t know where it leads

 

I can’t undo what’s been done

The final bell has not yet rung

I’m walking towards the rising sun 

A brand new day has just begun - and the world’s moved on
