Before the Rain lyrics

Far behind me Miles and yards away Down the road of time Where the colors used to stay There was a fire Alive behind my eyes A sweet voice in the wind Calling through the night An inner flame Begging to burn Whole forests down Beneath the Moon Oh pale setting Sun Where has my courage gone? The mist hides my past And innocence moves on There was a rainbow Before reality rained There was a dream That gave my truth a name Now every season Cuts what it leaves behind But not in vain Not in vain I still carry what was mine There was a world Before the weight came down Fantasy revealing What I could not say out loud I used to believe In every light I saw Now the years keep turning Like a blade without a flaw Spring is gone Summer fell Winter froze What I could not tell Autumn came With another song Under falling leaves I learned to move on There was a rainbow Before reality rained There was a dream That gave my truth a name Now every season Cuts what it leaves behind But not in vain Not in vain I still carry what was mine After all It's only seasons Turning cycles Nothing more Still I hear That distant whisper From the child I was before Where did it go? The fire in my eyes Where did it go? The courage to collide Mist over memory Rain over faith I lost my innocence But not the flame There was a rainbow Before reality rained There was a dream That gave my truth a name Now every season Cuts what it leaves behind But not in vain Not in vain I still carry what was mine Spring is gone Summer bled Winter froze The words unsaid In autumn leaves I sing again They fall They fade But not in vain
