So this is permanence

Love shattered pride

What once was innocence

turned on its side

A cloud hangs over me

marks every move

Deep in the memory

what once was love



[first bit]

Oh how I've realized

how I wanted time

Put into perspective

tried so hard to find

Just for one moment

I thought I'd found my way

Destiny unfolded

I watched it slip away



[second bit]

Excessive flash points

beyond all reach

Solitary demands for

all I'd like to keep

Let's take a ride out

see what we can find

Valueless collection of

hopes and past desires

[first bit]

I never realized

the lengths I'd have to go

All the darkest corners of

a sense I didn't know

Just for one moment

I heard somebody call

Looked beyond the day in hand

There's nothing there at all



[second bit]

Now that I've realized

how it's all gone wrong

Got to find some therapy

this treatment takes too long

Deep in the heart of

where sympathy held sway

Got to find my destiny

before it gets too late

Note:  It's only a rough guide, and there's a lot of extra stuff

played around what's written here, but I hope it's of some help.

Thanks to Nigel Koop for sending me the tape ;)
