Once and Never More

Snow on the stones
In the darkening door
Almost
Silent as ghosts
Once and never more

A glittering light
On the unlived life
We'd share
Carried away
On the moonlit air

Lost in the streetlights
Glowing more faintly every night
Where nowhere meets sometimes

I never seem to start right
Til it's over
I'm falling down like starlight
On your shoulders
What did I mean to say?
Through myth and memory
What was it that I fought for
Weathering this long war
Once and never more

The moment is gone
In the gray blue dawn
Almost
Tides on a coast
Called and never drawn

With glimmering eyes
Under open skies
Allies
Wandering souls
Only fantasize

With all of the roadways
Closed in a castle we didn't climb
All of the answers we won't find

I never seem to start right
Til it's over
I'm falling down like starlight
On your shoulders
What did I need to say?
Through endless memory
What was it that I hoped for
Weathering this long storm
Once and never more
Once and never more
Once and never more
