lyrics

When we were younger and together all the time
And I could not tell yours from mine
I knew I had to draw that line, it’s now or never

Like a boulder rolling down a hill,
You can’t stop it with all your will
I know there’s love between us still, though it is hard to feel

Old friend, you’ve been good to me
I won’t need anymore of your time
That mirror, has shown me everything
Couldn’t be anymore clear

I’m not nothing without you
I knew one day I’d be leaving
Love is passing with the seasons
I don’t need you, old friend

When I was silent and so insecure
I’d give you every sentence, never say a word
I thought your life was mine to live, and would be forever

But like a wave coming in off the sea
You can’t keep it now from taking me
I know there’s endless light to see

And I’m not nothing without you
I knew someday I’d be leaving
Love is passing with the seasons
There’s a distance and I like
I don’t need you like I did then, old friend

And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow

Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here 9RnK7
