[Intro] I sit here - so alone My heart is up and gone I dream of the past and chase future ways, I am tomorrow -- not today. [Verse 1] Chatting people pass me by They walk in couples, hands intertwined Their voices light, their laughter free -- The sun is warm, but not on me. [Verse 2] Just one companion shares my calm A straying dove, like me - alone I feed her crumbs of chestnut rests I gain her trust, we sit in rest [Pre-Chorus] I’m far too young to feel this lonely with countless friends, yet I’m the only one who stands so quiet here; each weekend fighting grief and fear. [Chorus] In dreams of past I see what we shared How once we laughed, we loved, we cared. Delete these memories from my mind That haunt me through the day and night! I wake from memories to lonely hours Miss what could have been mine and what was ours. [Verse 3] Another weekend knocks on the door I’m alone again - do petty chores I clean the house, I write and sigh -- alone -- from early dusk to midnight’s cry. [Verse 4] My friends are busy with their own lives With work and hobbies, partners, wives. I try to fight this hollow sound but loneliness is all I’ve found. [Pre-Chorus] I’m far too young to feel this lonely with countless friends, yet I’m the only one who stands so quiet here; each weekend fighting grief and fear. [Chorus] In dreams of past I see what we shared How once we laughed, we loved, we cared. Delete these memories from my mind That haunt me through the day and night! I wake from memories to lonely hours Miss what could have been mine and what was ours. [Bridge] Eight billion souls across all lands is there not one who understands? I don’t need many -- just the one who’s right. One heart that stays, that holds me tight. But searching for that single flame in crowds so vast is a hopeless game that I could lose before I start -- I fear we may be worlds apart. [Verse 5] I try to breathe in what is real to trust the present, learn to heal. I cannot live in loss or fear -- I’ll make the best of being here. The future waits, it’s not my chase I’ll meet it in its proper place. [Outro] I dream of the past and chase future ways Yet I’m not tomorrow --- I am today.
