Day was young, desire was stirred Summer was all but gone Light was fading from the side of your face Sinking low in the corn All that's constant and wise I still see in your eyes It was always this way from the start Right here where I stand On the last of the land But you're still breaking the heart Now all I have is rushing right through my hands Sailing over the seas Down that tide where fresh and salt combine All victories are released We who wrestle the years Have traded our fears For a glimpse of ecstasy in the dark Turning ice in the fire
But still we're denied But you're still breaking the heart The skies turned red without failure They held their promise and dread till the last You put all of my youth in my future You put the future back into my past So shine a light and shine it brightly now You know it all takes its course And all the many ways I've tried so hard To reach this potent source On the day behind time Across the divide Along the cord came all light out of dark Now I stand amazed In this beautiful pain But you're still breaking the heart You're breaking the heart
