A great shadow came
And fell on us like a storm
I saw it coming right for us
And I couldn’t even whisper a warning
You brought it and I wouldn’t listen
Wouldn’t hear of it
You and I
We live in the real world
But there was something outside that once
Something that made the world brand new
Yes, it was right there
And we let it slip past us
Sent it on its way
I felt something coming
Subtle and pervasive
Like the scent of fire on the wind
And you couldn’t even look me in the eye
You showed me and still I wouldn’t see
Wouldn’t believe it then
You and I
We live in the here and now
But sometimes a future we can’t imagine
Comes breaking down the doors
Bold and merciless
Yes, things intrude
Life gets in the way
Baby, I saw that shadow take you
And I couldn’t reach out anymore
You didn’t want me there
Didn’t love me like I loved you
Like you once did
Though I wouldn’t ever say it, I knew
Yes, I feared for us
Oh, and I tried
To get it all right
To just get something right
And still I can’t, even now
Has it been long enough
For it to be alright
Just to remember
Can you still remember me?
