Caught up in poetryWrapped in its symmetrySeeing things the way they areWatching each memoryRoll out in front of meAs far as the eye can seeNever be what they wantedAlways be who you areRapt in a reverieLost in its mystery
These seas we’ll safely sail

Oh you might want to tell me if I’m wrong
You may wish to say before too long.
Save it till I’m done, cos’ you’re not the only one.
Oh everyone can tell me when I’m gone.

Oh you might hear of things you don’t agree
And you’ll form your own opinions about me.
Please save it till I’m done,
I can’t be the one they want.
Oh everyone can tell me when I’m gone.

Oh oh…

I took some time to wonder about life
I’d been hoping this year would turn out right.
You know there’s something more, yet you’ve seen this all before.
Maybe everyone will see this when I’m gone.

Oh oh…

It’s been a while since I last prayed to GodA departure from grace, I’d fallen hard.
With everything aside I really messed it up this time.
I hope everyone will save it till I’m done.

Oh oh…

I hope someday you’ll see I’m not who I used to be,
Then everyone can tell me when I’m gone

Looks like the rain has come back againLooks like that grey sky has settled inFeels like the winds turned against my sailLooks like the rain comes cos’ you’re not here.
Oh sweet beloved, where have you gone?I wish I knew where I’d gone wrong.
I would be there in the blink of an eyeWith you somewhere other thanThis dark grey sky.
Looks like the rain has rolled in once moreSeems I’m alone standing on an empty floorSeems like the world’s gone monochromeLooks like the rain comes when I’m alone.
Oh sweet beloved.

Take me back to the house where I grew up again
I remember every moment shared
Times, they change, but the walls remain the same
We were never frightened, cold or scared

Whatever happened to the pictures on the wall?
The scarf you made when the snow began to fall?
The pen marked doorway where the kids were growing tall?
We made this house a happy home

Take me back to the garden of those summer days
Dens to build and new places to hide
These are memories that make me smile always
You were fearless, I was by your side

Whatever happened to the clock that used to chime?
The creaky floorboards on the stairs we used to climb
I’d love to see us as we were just one more time
We made this house a happy home

Whatever happened to the markings on the tree
The summer stretching as far as we could see
I’d love to see us as we were just you and me
This house it was a happy home
This house it was a happy home

Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne


For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
