Given and Denied - Poets Of The Fall

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder?

Which way to the years I’ve let go by?

Let a thirsty man drink in its memories

While the water still flows sweet and crystal clear

For yesteryear

Oh to see the sun’s eclipse

On the horizon like ships

Sailing way away from here

Oh just one more time my dear

'fore I’ll go hear me out

'cos of this there ain’t no doubt

When it’s time for curtain call

Just before the shadows…

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of

Blue like your eyes in the twilight theater

With symphonies playing in the world without sound

We’re given and denied…

Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again

Like I never outgrew my old playground

Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown

And the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings

Give me those wings

Let me fly once again

Like I did way back when

I would gamble and win

To lift me high above the din

Of the future we see

Does it hold something for me?

I’m weightless again

Just before the shadows…

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of

Blue like your eyes in the twilight theater

With symphonies playing in the world without sound

We’re given and denied…

Before I’ll go hear me out

'cos of this there ain’t no doubt

When it’s time for curtain call

Just before the shadows…

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of

Blue like your eyes in the twilight theater

With symphonies playing in the world without sound

We’re given and denied…
