Runrig - Things That Are lyrics

She was the fairest And her eyes shone of blue I first fell in the autumn term There was nothing I could do School lovers swarmed Around the courtyard wall Then walked on up The rapture road aglow She kept me warm that winter And winter turned to spring We never looked round corners To the changes they could bring Her love was a dart And I swore she broke my heart The world would never turn The same again The things that are And things that never can be Are things that we must bare To share our destiny I saw her again last summer Where the hard rains fall The gra** grew long around her feet Where the years took their toll She once meant the world to me But we by-pa**ed destiny On the road not taken The road unknown (Chorus) She was the only one Eternity blindness could see Our moments are rush and gone All our pictures incomplete (Chorus) (Chorus) Oh, the things that are (Chorus)
