lyrics

such a cold winter
moving slowly, like forever
down my spine
such are the better times
gaze upon the setting sun
spare me all the lies and agony
this time, better than the rest of my life
I watch that ship go sailing by without me
without me, again

thin, as the autumn winds
crossing Roman corridors
I'll never feel this good again
oh please, forget all that's left
don't let me slip away again without you
watch the sun as it sets
nuovo

hedge your bets
take a chance, you might not get again
or hold the line until god knows when
make believe, or just pretend

how can I still believe
you take my time, you take whats mine
why are you so close to me
I said please, forget all that's left
don't let me slip away again without you
watch the sun as it sets
nuovo
