when pain turns to years
it goes away
a memory far gone
so bitter sweet
and sweet it is to taste recover
the loss of my friend

and why haunts this hunger
to love her
my ship set its sail
a long time ago
and my mind has said its farewell
and my lips have declared "it's time"
but my heart cannot say its goodbye

now it's only in my dreams
that i've been there
her eyes so in love
her kiss so real
now if only i could stay
and dream a while
if a dream lasts a lifetime

my ship's set its sail
but still at shore
my heart cannot say its goodbye
