What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
gone as though they never had been
2
the years passed in a flash
3
what were their voices
4
are now wind through the pines
5
I had stood in the falling rain hoping I would attain some kind of wisdom
6
I had an eye on the one above who might shower on me some kind of explanation
7
but now I see that it's here, this wisdom:
8
on my pillow, in my hands, right in front of me
9
I turn around the years have passed
10
as though they were a dream
11
all my glories have turned to ashes
12
that scatter in the breeze
13
I had thought that the day would dawn, I thought that night would fall all over me
14
I had thought that it all would be something that I could keep, like a trophy
15
but now I see that it's here, that it's now
16
it's a gift, and it's wonderful: a wondrous mystery
17
so what is gone let's not regret
18
let's long for what is here
19
they say you were a beautiful dancer
20
when you were a child
21
I would like to have known you then, when your eyes were just opening
22
to the wonders of this world
23
when you were without pride or fear, when you were like a lamb my dear, somewhat empty
24
but now I see that regret is a myth
25
don't forget, it's a gift: a wondrous mystery
