The Ark - This Sad Bouquet lyrics

It took time, took time to develop a concept A new me based upon the traits from which I could not flee It took time, took time to embrace the nature of my dreams All this time just turned into a sad long wait This sad long tale of moments pa**' must come to an end before it is too late Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love but I never knew it was so hard It took time, took time to accept the fact that one must lose everything except what you do not choose It's taken time, long time and yet more time it will take before my heart is free and brave enough to break This sad long tale of moments pa**' must come to an end before it is too late Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love but I never knew it was so hard This sad bouquet of forget-me-not that I threw away is growing scars and dots In this weary heart where there's a bird, so shy but one of these days that bird will learn to fly
