Van der Graaf Generator — Lost

[i. The Dance in Sand and Sea] [Verse 1] So here we are, or rather, here am I, quite alone I'm seeing things that were shared before, long ago My memory stretches and I am dazed, you know I know How good the time was and how I laughed Times have changed, now you're far away, I can't complain I had all my chances but they slipped right through my hands Like so much sand I know I'll never dance like I used to [Verse 2] I'll just wait till day breaks upon the land and the sea Hoping that I can catch all of the memories Then I must crawl off upon my way, all of me Listening hard for the final words But there are none, the sunrise calls, I've lingered on Too close for comfort and I don't know quite why I feel like crying I know we'll never dance like we used to [Break] [Bridge] I look up, I'm almost blinded By the warmth of what's inside me And the taste that's in my soul But I'm dead inside as I stand alone [ii. The Dance in Frost] [Interlude] I wore my moods like different sets of clothes But the right one was never around And as you left I heard my body ring And my mind began to howl It was far too late to contemplate the meaning of it all You know that I need you, but somehow I don't think you see my love at all [Instrumental] [Verse 3] At some point I lost you, I don't know quite how it was The wonderland lay in a coat of white, chilling frost I looked around and I found I was truly lost Without your hand in mine I am dead Reality is unreal and games I've tried just aren't the same Without your smile there's just nowhere to hide Yes, and deep inside I know I've never cried as I'm about to [Bridge] If I could just frame the words That would make your fire burn All this water that's now around me could be the love That should surround me [Break] [Outro] Looking out through the tears that blind me My heart bleeds that you may find me Or at least that I can Forget and be numb But I, I just can't stop, the words still come I love you Oh, I love you I love you I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you I love you, I love you, I love you [Instrumental]
