I get by, but I'm tired of myself
 
 And I doubt that I ever will find someone else
 
 Lonely days fall like drops in the lake of our love
 
 I just want it to be like it was
 
 And I want you to be as you were long ago
 
  
  I go down to the edge of the lake
 
 Where I wait through the night for the dawn light to break
 
 Memories of yore crash like waves on the shore of my mind
 
 And I pray that the stars will align
 
 I just want us to be who we were long ago
  
 
 I just want what was
 
 How I yearn for the years we were young and in love
  
 
 I get by, but it's hard to forget
 
 In the smoke of denial and the fog of regret
 
 Dismal and darksome like clouds in the sky of my soul
 
 And I hear thunder roll
  
 
 I look up at the uncaring sky 
 
 With a prayer on my lips and a tear in my eye
 
 Oh, how the heart burns like fire in the light of the Moon
 
 I just hope you'll be comin' back soon
  
 
 You're my long-lost love
 
 Can we wind back the wheels to the way that it was?
