A Place Lyrics

We always judge life as fair and unfair

Never understanding we cannot compare

Everything is just as it's supposed to be

Some things have to go away suddenly

There's nothing in this world that lasts

Even this moment has already passed

The world doesn't cry for what is lost to time

We need to stop believing there is meaning to every rhyme

There's a place where the sun always shines

A place where fruit is always ripe on the vines

There's a place where memory becomes dream

A place where we must go to sleep

and our eyes lose their gleam.

Everything fades and is eaten by the dark

Like a dying fire without a spark

We have watched these same storms in many skies

And we know the birds are gone and nothing else flies

Everything just goes this shade of gray

And we are reminded of what remains and what goes away

We always want to believe in forever

How we've deceived ourselves but believe we're clever

There's a place where the sun always shines

A place where fruit is always ripe on the vines

There's a place where memory becomes dream

A place where we must go to sleep

and our eyes lose their gleam.

Everything fades and is eaten by the dark

Like a dying fire without a spark

You'll never be as whole as when you fall apart

You'll never be as bright as when you are dark

And you'll never be as far away as when you're ahead

And you'll never be as free as when your dead

There's a place where the sun always shines

A place where fruit is always ripe on the vines

There's a place where memory becomes dream

A place where we must go to sleep

and our eyes lose their gleam.

Everything fades and is eaten by the dark

Like a dying fire without a spark
