I remember the time of the day
When she left my world and went far away
Like a lonely cloud far up in the sky
There’s no place left for me to stay

‘Twas a bright day when I saw her first
And I knew it was a time for us
A time to sail away to the stars
Beyond the world’s endless scars

Days then passed
With her thoughts all around
Like roses in the wind
And sunshine on the ground

Like the sound of the river
And the colors of the mountains
Like the way we used to shiver
As we walked around the fountains

‘Twas a dark day when I saw her last
As the love we shared had come to pass
Like a wilted leaf on the frozen ground
Like an old robin who’d lost her sound

Now the time still makes me shiver
Though the fountains have all gone dry
Just like the way she went away
And I couldn’t even say goodbye.
