Some who you love will eventually part with thee
Some who you love will eventually part with thee
Still I sing a lilting lament of what's lost and spent, impermanent
Still I sing a lilting lament of what's lost and spent, impermanent
Oh in the night and all of the stars that fell, at that time, I felt like I knew you very well
All of us played like lovers and picked over bones and strings, we sat round the table and each one in turn had reason to sing
Oh I've been knocking but I can't get in
It's not because there's no-one within
Oh I've been knocking, but I can't get in
It's not because there's no-one within
Oh in the day, and all of the leaves that fell
Now I don't feel that I don't know you well at all
You're lost, you're lost - you have played on all of our heart strings
And it sounds like the death knell, the tolling bell hear how it rings
Oh I've been knocking, but I can't get in
It's not because there's no-one within
Oh I've been knocking, but I can't get in
It's not because there's no-one within
Some who you love will eventually part with thee
Some who you love will eventually part with thee
Still I sing a lilting lament of what's lost and spent, impermanent
Still I sing a lilting lament of what's lost and spent, impermanent
Still I sing a lilting (part with me) melody
Still I sing a lilting (part with me) melody
Still I sing a lilting (part with me) melody
Still I sing a lilting (part with me) melody
Still I sing a lilting (part with me) melody
