Lament

As I stood in the shade there beside him
And as eyes turned to a paler shade of crimson
As I felt cold blood waves running down my spine
Then I knew he wouldn't return

Maybe I should have known
Some things we just have to bear
I thought I could - still can't
I saw it all coming down

That's what life's all about
Experience the unknown
Now I know I'd rather not
Fear is our only foe

As I stood in the shade there beside them
And as eyes run to a brighter shade of blue again
With a glimpse of an eye he did understand
Then he knew I wouldn't return

Maybe I should have known
Some things we just have to bear
I thought I could - still can't
I saw it all coming down

That's what life's all about
Experience the unknown
Now I know I'd rather not
Fear is our only foe
