How could so many people be living just for this?
 Moments of redemption, momentary bliss...
 
 And what with so many people living for the day?
 Treetops give the answers,
 swallows show the way
 
 It's so strange,
 the things we wish for,
 the things we thought
 we couldn't do without...
 
 It's so sad,
 the things we dreamed of,
 the things we thought,
 we couldn't live without...
 
 How could so many memories
 comfort you at dawn,
 bring you back to days of happiness?
 
 And what do we do with moments
 once they've been and gone?
 Do they wait in churchyards
 till we pass?
 
 It's so strange,
 the things we wish for,
 the things we thought
 we couldn't do without
 
 It's so sad,
 the love we dreamed of,
 the love we thought
 we couldn't live without...
