Ariel:

Helena you came to me

when seemingly life had begun.

Little did I know then

where this would go,

when this begun.

Once I was free to fly,

I never promised anything.

This may well be goodbye!

Don't ask why, don't be sad,

sometimes we all must

alter paths we planned.

Only try to understand,

I try to save you from

the lost and damned.

Although you hold me close

I feel retention arise.

Just as a hint of fear,

like subtle clouds

In summer skies.

Once in the moonlight

I can't explain.

And I don't know,

somehow we may reunite.

Don't ask why, don't be sad,

sometimes we all must

alter paths we planned.

Don't forget what we had,

but let me save you

from the lost and damned.

Love means nothing to me

if there is a higher place to be!

Helena don't you cry!

Believe me, I do this for you.

Heed my decision now,

I will be gone tomorrow noon.

My tale has just begun,

nothing can take my faith away

in my quest for the sun.

Don't ask why, don't be sad,

sometimes we all must

alter paths we planned.

Only try to understand,

I try to save you from

the lost and damned.

Don't ask why, don't be sad,

sometimes we all must

alter paths we planned.

Leave me behind, don't look back,

because deep within you know

I'm lost and damned.
