The Ballad Of Forgetting Lyrics

We were young in our days

But you were older in your nights

With your hands curled to fists

Against the dreams you had to fight

But the dawn held its promise

For another path in life

And it was the one place that I needed you

Looking back on the years

Before the leaves began to fall

We believed in a magic

That might keep us from the cold

But now we know there's no winning

So we've nothing left to lose

In the one place that I needed you

As all the horrors find their home

They take your heart and turn it into stone

Try and find someone to break it open

And hold them close and safe inside your arms

Now we're old in our days

But still the dreams come in the nights

With their tongues glistening silver

Whispering promises of light

And I tried to forget them

But they stayed inside my mind

In the one place that I needed you
