I fell in love with today She always fades away Visits my thoughts when i call her name But it's never the same I fell in love with today Her ever youthful way of Dancing through my dreams persuades Me that it will be okay I know she's not mine to keep The ocean's as dark as it's deep I just hope I can fall into sleep Before the rain I fell in love with yesterday She whispers in my ear to stay Her tempting ends with a betrayal And a debt i can never pay I fell in love with yesterday Her eyes and skin and hair a maze She blurs the weeks into a haze And she takes away my pain But i know shes not mine to keep The oceans yet darker yet deep As the downpour starts to release I'm left holding half of a dream again Shattered to pieces and covered in creases I beg God at least let me rest Are you impressed that i handle myself so well I've none i keep near me I hope the rest fear me and that they forget of my tell Did i pass your test I swear i gave all that i could I've never tried so hard and never come so far To still not feel the way that i should But i know she's not mine to keep Dreams never do come true cheap Still the oceans as dark as it's deep I'm sorry i didn't quite manage to sleep Before the rain
