I get by, but I'm tired of myself, and I doubt that I ever will find someone else Lonely days fall like drops in the lake of our love I just want it to be like it was And I want you to be as you were long ago I go down to the edge of the lake where I wait throug the night for the dawn light to break Memories of yore crash like waves on the shore of my mind And I pray that the stars will align I just want us to be who we were long ago I just want what was How I yearn for the years we were young and in love I get by, but it's hard to forget in the smoke of denial and the fog of regret Dismal and darksome like clouds in the sky of my soul And I hear thunder roll I look up at the uncaring sky with a prayer on my lips and a tear in my eye Oh, how the heart burns like fire in the light of the moon I just hope you'll be comin' back soon You're my long-lost love Can we wind back the wheels to the way that it was?
