lyrics

The Splendour of it all

I try to remember
all the reasons that I left her
But all I can recall
is the splendour of it all

So I look back through the pages
that I wrote to mark the stages
Of the rise and fall of our empire
But all was lost in the fire

Leaving me without the words
They now seem so absurd
And all I can recall is the splendour of it all

So I tightly close my eyes and hope
That your image will arise
But it’s lost in lovers past
When you appear you never last

Leaving me without a picture
To take me back to when I left her
But all I can recall is the splendour of it all

I hold on to all these thoughts
In hope one day I won’t be caught
Pondering the paths I took
Unable to take another look
But to be content with all life’s choices
All regrets turn to rejoices
And you’ll take pleasure when you recall
The glorious splendour of it all
