time has passed me by

the sun she hides and shuns the moon
who chased her from the sky
my day has come and surely gone
time has passed me by

I never said the words that could
have made her change her mind
the silence echoes through the years
time has passed me by

my tears dry up and turn to dust
I drop my head to cry
the dusty trails run down my face
time has passed my by

too fragile for this cold cruel world
too beautiful to die
I held this dream just like a child
but time has passed us by
