The Lost Song (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

I had nine lives but I lost all of them
I've been searching in the night
I've been searching in the rain
I tried to find them
But they disappeared
They walked away they dressed in black

They left my side and all I say is that I wasted time
When I looked for them
For now I know that things gone past
Are never to be found again
No never, never again
I had nine lives, but lost all of them

I had a plan, but never finished it
And I've been searching for the thought
And I've been searching in a haze
I try all days
To remember it
But now the blueprint in my mind has gone

My mind forgot the colour of direction
And my eyes they see the hands, that could have built
That could have constructed, the empire in my mind
The empire, I'll never find
I had a plan, but that was where it ended

I had a plan, but never finished it
I've been searching for the thought
I've been searching in a haze
I try all days
To remember it
But now the blueprint in my mind has gone

My mind forgot the colour of direction
And the hands that could have built
Could have constructed, the empire in my mind
The empire, I'll never find
I had a plan, but that was where it ended
