We tried to fly too near the sun
We should learn to walk before we run
Time knows all and time alone will tell
Sooner than you think the passing bell
I set my feet all along the line
I never knew that the road that you'd choose was mine
And in the distance came a guiding light
Burning like a beacon in the night
And you gave me everything that I need
You gave me time and you gave me speed
The days were easy and the nights were warm and long
And you found your way into my song
But the summer faded in your eyes
And a cold wind blew all across the skies
The days grew silent and the nights grew dark and long
And you left to find another song
So when this song is ended there is no more
You know the story well I'm sure
You must have heard it so many times before
When this song is ended there's no more
We tried to fly too near the sun...
