Sole Desire

Tried my best to make it last
The precious moments now have passed
Slipped through my fingers like quicksand
Blown in the autumn wind

My sole desire

This candlelight is burning fast
Fading from present to the past
Soon there will be nothing left
But an echo of

My sole desire

There is nothing of permanence
In this world
Nothing is meant to last
In this world
Nothing of love remains
Beyond the grave

Time has passed and now you're gone
I dream of all we could have done
But there is no turning back the tide
Now that your love for me has died

My sole desire
