I couldn't believe it was you there with me
held close in your arms where I felt I belong
as we stood together beneath a budding spring tree
footprints in the sand, together happily
that summer when our love burned strong
watching waves fold back into the sea
in a fading autumn light you turned from me
my heart was burning, full of song
but in the tune of bitter melancholy
we can't go back to that dying winter tree
before it all went terribly wrong
now I look to you and you just don't see
I fell away from your perfect harmony
another face mixed up in the throng
desperately seeking the girl lost from me
this is the way it was meant to be
after all this time, now it won't be long
I was never the person you wanted to see
please let me go, please set me free
