You Once Said

If I can bother you with this slight distraction Perhaps you'd like just one more dance Set it out to your own satisfaction I hope you're glad you took this chance And you once said I set your soul on fire But as all the brightest flames must expire Your heart's playing a different drum Just as the road to heaven is an uphill slog The road to hell is an easy jog Littered with our best intentions We turn away, make no mention And you once said I made your world go round The dove that flew fell without a sound And your heart's playing a different drum Your heart's playing a different drum But if I can kiss you once more, I'll never ask again Waves crash down on a forgotten shore As we make our last farewell We walk along the beach once more You give me a tiny, perfect shell And you once said I set your soul on fire But as all the brightest flames must expire Your heart's playing a different drum Your heart's playing a different drum Your heart's playing a different drum
