time 
standing all alone 
I bled for you 
I wanted to 
each drop my own 

slowly they depart 
but fall in vain 
like desert rain 
and still they fall on and on and on 

got to get back to a reason 
got to get back to a reason i once knew 
and this late in the seasons 
one by one distractions fade from view 

so 
drifting through the dark 
the sympathy 
of night's mercy 
inside my heart 
is your life the same? 
do ghosts cry tears? 
do they feel years? 
as time just goes on and on and on 

got to get back to a reason 
got to get back to a reason i once knew 
and this late in the seasons 
one by one distractions fade from view 

I'm looking for you 
I'm looking for i don't know what 
I can't see there anymore 
and all my time's been taken 

is this what it seems? 
the lure of a dream 
and I'm afraid to walk back through that door 
to find that I've awakened 

the night seems to care 
the dreams in the air 
the [bad word] down 
it beckons me dare 

it whispers, it hopes 
it holds and confides 
and offers a bridge 
across these divides 

the parts of my life 
I've tried to forget 
it's gathered each piece 
and carefully kept 

somewhere in the dark 
beyond all the cold 
there is a child 
that's part of my soul 

got to get back to a reason 
got to get back to a reason i once knew 
and this late in the seasons 
one by one distractions fade from view 
the only reason I have left is 
you
