What You Leave Behind Lyrics

Edenbridge ; What You Leave Behind

As sure

as fate

As all draws

to a close

A momentous

weight

As an era

goes

Homeward bound

am I

But will my heart

ever be

The sands have

run out

Woebegone the face

The parting hour

Is near

The beauty

of this place

This flame

of passion here

A bitter

errand waits

In the wake of memories

The sound

of my fate

The end

we could all be

heroes then

When things may

take a turn

And all boats

come to burn

What have we got by

It in the end ?

What's with our end

casts a lurid

light on me

The eyes of friend

and foe

When all was touch

and go

It`s always what

you leave behind

If wishes

were horses

And hopes

were butterflies

The span of life

forces

Our thoughts

to memorize

But it remains

to be seen

If we are bound

for any way

When the die

Is cast

The big pond

of the scalding

tears

The flicker

of a smile

A mode of motion

keeps us holding

on

When all is said

and done

And time

Is striking sails

Scattered to the four

winds we`ll

be gone

Casts a lurid
