I took a walk down by the river

On down towards our secret rendez-vous

I made my way down to the wishing tree

And left a message there that you would see

Then I wrote a song I hoped that you would hear

And you would know just where you had to go

Down past rocks on which we used to sit

And talk about how life could be so cruel

Why carry on

When everything we're living for

Is slowly fading?

Time passes by

And everything we ever loved

Is lost and wasted

All you wanted was worth

And all I ever showed you was love

All we needed was time

And everything was gonna be fine

Now I need to find a way

To let you know

"Someday", you told me "we will sail away"

I think about it every night and day

So I keep you close to me in any way

And I'll still be waiting when we're old and grey

Why carry on

When everything we're living for

Is slowly fading?

Time passes by

And everything we ever loved

Is lost and wasted

Tell me why can't we try

When all I need is just a piece of your love

Now if it wasn't for pain

I fear that I'd feel nothing at all

Now I need to find a way

To turn back time
