All the lights pass by
Like names I used to know
And you were just another glow
That touched me, then let go
I sat alone on platform five
The evening wrapped in gold
I watched the sky pretend to cry
But the rain just made me cold
If I had said the words in time
Would we have stayed, or crossed the line?
You were just a fleeting flame
But you burned a space in me
Like a note I never sang
But still plays silently
And though our train has gone ahead
And we’re bound to different skies
You remain, like passing lights
That still shine behind closed eyes
You spoke of cities I don’t know
And dreams you chased alone
I smiled but never let you see
How I wished to be your home
Some love is not for holding tight
It’s meant to bloom, then fade from sight
You were just a fleeting flame
But you burned a space in me
Like a note I never sang
But still plays silently
And though our train has gone ahead
And we’re bound to different skies
You remain, like passing lights
That still shine behind closed eyes
Even if we never meet again
You’ll return in quiet rain
Even if the world forgets
You remain
You were just a fleeting flame
But you burned a space in me
Like a note I never sang
But still plays silently
And though our train has gone ahead
And we’re bound to different skies
You remain, like passing lights
That still shine behind closed eyes
You remain... behind closed eyes
