We try not to swim against the sea I'm tracing back the memories Like distant stars I'd change it all, arrange it all The colors and the scents From pale to bright and plentiful If time would let me through It always comes with a blow A nervous twitch of the heart One did the job One ruined love Your voice still echoes through the streets We used to own And at the place where the river splits You moved along Oh, like strangers now Deranged somehow Still on each other's minds Would you go back to start anew If time would let you through And we drift apart My thoughts get tangled up One did the job One ruined love It always comes with a blow A nervous twitch of the heart
