Lyrics

Thinking back down through the years,
all the nights spent alone in rooms filled with empty chairs
Pondering questions burning in my head
I learned to lie to myself, and just accept less instead
And when I think of all of these things,
the dying light of winter, and the first breath of spring

Darker and darker with only doubt in sight
I dreamed that I saw you last Saturday night
I held onto your hand and the words I’d never say
Oh how much did I lose when I let your love slip away

I found love in many different eyes
nights that made history with promise it would never die
Sidestepped illusion held onto what was near
while line of melting poetry were running down the page like tears
And when I think of what could have been
curiosity wins over and over again

Darker and darker with only doubt in sight
I dreamed that I saw you last Saturday night
I held onto your hand and the words I’d never say
Oh how much did I lose when I let your love slip away

Sometimes I sit and I wonder … if I had only used that chance
but I feel great, yes I’m wonderful
I just can’t erase that dream that takes me back

Darker and darker with only doubt in sight
I dreamed that I saw you last Saturday night
I held onto your hand and the words I’d never say
Oh how much did I lose when I let your love … I let your love slip away
