After the Fall Lyrics
Time
Only time
Could never take me away from you
And why
Should it try
Time never cares just what we do
It just sits on a star
And gazes down
Dropping its moments all around
And if I could wish upon that star
I would find what you dream
And then ask god to grant it
I wanted
To say this
Long before this dark would fall
At night I
Would pray this
Then wonder if god heard at all
For the chances I've had are now long gone
And that star is no longer wished upon
For on this night it seems too far away
Try
I have tried
To pretend that I don't care
But then
Sleep arrives
And in every dream I find you there
But I don't want the past to be my life
And I don't want to live inside the night
But I don't want to see your shadow fade
So I sleep and I dream
Though I don't understand it
I wanted
To say this
Long before this dark would fall
At night I
Would pray this
Then wonder if god heard at all
For the chances I've had are now long gone
And that star is no longer wished upon
For on this night it seems too far away
You can live your life in a thousand ways
But it all comes down to that single day
When you realize what you regret
What you can't reclaim but you can't forget
If I could just fall back into my life
And find you there inside this night
And let eternity just drift away
Only time
Could never take me away from you
Should it try
Time never cares just what we do
And gazes down
Dropping its moments all around
And if I could wish upon that star
I would find what you dream
And then ask god to grant it
To say this
Long before this dark would fall
At night I
Would pray this
Then wonder if god heard at all
For the chances I've had are now long gone
And that star is no longer wished upon
For on this night it seems too far away
I have tried
To pretend that I don't care
But then
Sleep arrives
And in every dream I find you there
And I don't want to live inside the night
But I don't want to see your shadow fade
So I sleep and I dream
Though I don't understand it
To say this
Long before this dark would fall
At night I
Would pray this
For the chances I've had are now long gone
And that star is no longer wished upon
For on this night it seems too far away
But it all comes down to that single day
When you realize what you regret
What you can't reclaim but you can't forget
And find you there inside this night
And let eternity just drift away

Does anyone else get chills from sheer love and devotion that Theresa showed him? Yes, I know she's a fictionalized version, but damn it, this probably the most intense love story I've ever heard. And it's made even more intense by the fact that - at the end of the day in life, as in this story - he chose to echo through time... My sincere respect to TSO for making me understand Beethoven in a way that I never had before.
