Lament For Lost Youth

Gone are the days of evergreen
Lost like the fire in my eyes
Gone is the awe of seventeen
Though still not worldly wise

I lie in wait of the daybreak (Count the days)
I am forever in the wake (Of time)
The Bird of Youth has flown away
The Bird of Youth has flown away

Dare to step upon the lines
Born into uncertain times
Dare to draw patterns in the sky
And all the while the endless chimes

We lie in wait of the daybreak (Count the days)
We are forever in the wake (Of time)
The Bird of Youth has flown away
The Bird of Youth has flown away

Time is unforgiving
Time is unforgiving

The Bird of Youth has flown away
The Bird of Youth has flown away
The Bird of Youth has flown away
And all my lines are here to stay
