[Verse 1] I stretch my hands, clutch vacant laughter In silence and sweet, sweet pain Without demand, but with a longing [Refrain 1] For what will never come again [Verse 2] I smell your perfume on the sheets in the morning It lingers like the patterns on the window after rain A past that lives, if only for the present [Refrain 2] But which is gone and will never come again [Bridge] To your sad eyes, turned away, mine say Do you? Did you? How? As the darkness slides away the day Shows what was and makes what is now [Verse 3] I see your picture as though it were a mirror But theres no part of you outside the frame Except the change that you gave to me [Refrain 3] This will never come again [Verse 4] I am me, I was so before you But afterwards I am not the same You are gone and I am with you [Refrain 3] This will never come again This will never come again This will never come again
refrain, never, afterwards, sweet, lingers
