lyrics

Once I knew a girl, but she slipped right through my hands
Turned my heart to sand on the shores of sinking lands
Think of her from time to time like an imprint on my mind

Mountains in the road, sun through falling snow
Waking life’s a dream, a flowing, frozen stream
The memory remains just a scar that still feels pain

Tell my why it’s so that the ones you’d like to know are the ones you never think to understand
Still there and yet long gone like the echo of a song calling you to sing along

Dusty August moon shining through my gloom
Diving down with me into the summer sea
I cannot pull you through when someone’s holding you
For true love never fades, it only drifts away

Tell my why it’s so that the ones you’d like to know are the ones you never think to understand
Still there and yet long gone like the echo of a song, like the echo
Some can set you free
Some can never be
Some fall far from home
Some touch cold as stone

And the words you say never mean a thing no
And the things you do girl, the things you do are everything

Once I knew a girl
Once I knew a girl
Once I knew a girl
The beauty of the world
