Poets Of The Fall Lyrics
"Given And Denied"

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
Which way to the years I've let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the
Water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear

Oh, to see the sun's eclipse
On the horizon like ships
Sailing way away from here.
Oh, just one more time my dear
Before I'll go hear me out
'Cause of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of blue
Like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the
Leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings
Give me those wings

Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I'm weightless again
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of blue
Like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

Before I'll go hear me out
'Cause of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of blue
Like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied
