It was there that I saw you
And it was there that I came
As evening sighs,
Rises up against the sky-line
Let me come and have my leis
You were fair and fey as a sun that evil day
We were bold and life was great
But as time went on
I wondered what was wrong
I wondered what became of you
Let me hold you in my arms dear
And let me melt in the heat of your gaze
And let the clock strike one,
Time and mind go marching on
Let our sense of selves decay
It was there that I saw you
In the heat of a summer's embrace
But as time went on
I wondered what went wrong
And it was there that I came
As evening sighs,
Rises up against the sky-line
Let me come and have my leis
You were fair and fey as a sun that evil day
We were bold and life was great
But as time went on
I wondered what was wrong
I wondered what became of you
Let me hold you in my arms dear
And let me melt in the heat of your gaze
And let the clock strike one,
Time and mind go marching on
Let our sense of selves decay
It was there that I saw you
In the heat of a summer's embrace
But as time went on
I wondered what went wrong

Interesting note: "fey" means to have magical qualities, as well as 'full of the sense of approaching death'.
Quite appropriate as this song seems to be about a magical love that was somehow died. The singer recalls the wonderful times they had, but wonders what became of his love.
He only wants to hold her again and find that bond they once had, where lost themselves in each other and became one. (shown in "let our sense of selves decay", and possibly "let the clock strike one")
