Fade, A fading hold, a fleeting kiss, a story told

I once was the one who would take the world by storm, I would have control and the world would come along

But it's all over now, like a Summer's end in shadow. I will sit and watch the clouds spell out longing in the sky

Memories the old illusion

Caught in time with this confusion

Left with nothing more, than scraps of mental cries...to hide

It's gonna be a bitter winter, fallen dreams lie all around

It's gonna be a bitter winter now

(2x)

Now, I would tell you

I would love you...if you were here

I once held your heart and you held all my tears

In the end there's no defense of regret and wasted years

Memories and old intrusion

Struggle more in this confusion

Standing here with nothing more than endless how and why's

Crystal hearts now froze like glass

White landscapes reflect the sky

Dreaming out my frosted window...watching time, as it slowly drifts by

It's gonna be a bitter winter

Fallen dreams lie all around

It's gonna be a bitter winter now

(2x)

It's gonna be a bitter winter

Fallen souls lie all around

It's gonna be a bitter winter now

(3x)

Now, I would tell you

I would love you...if you were here

(2x)
