Lyric

Letters of spring say the blossoms are here

But then comes the chill, and the frost on the tear

Did somebody pray for the flowers to stay?

To stop the white petals from drifting away?

Holding their beauty, frozen in time

A momentary pause in a mountain we climb

Time keeps on flowing, no matter the cost

Time keeps on passing, while we count what we’ve lost

Doing nothing at all, it still slips through our hands

Like the weight of the water on the shifting sands

How many more times will I see you again?

How much more time before the end of the rain?

How long can I stay by your side, holding tight?

Before you dissolve into the morning light?

I’m counting the breaths, I’m counting the days

Lost in the map of this shimmering haze

The anniversaries I used to forget

Are coming around with a sense of regret

Looking at you, I am haunted by fear

That this is the last time I’ll have you so near

Time keeps on flowing, we can’t go back now

Though we want to return, we don’t know the how

Time keeps on passing, leaving hearts far behind

Searching for pieces we never can find

How much more dreaming is left in my soul?

Before the dark silence takes over the whole?

Flower-chilled air, and a heart full of dread

Remembering all of the things that we said

I want to stop it, the clock on the wall

But the petals are starting, starting to fall

How many more times will I see you again?

How much more time before the end of the rain?

How long can I stay by your side, holding tight?

Before you dissolve into the morning light?

Time keeps on flowing

No matter what

How many more times

Just stay a little longer

Don't fade away yet
