All That Never Happens

She walks alone on the brick lane

The breeze is blowing

A year had changed her forever

Just like her grey home



He used to live so close, here

We'd look for places I can't remember

The world was safe when she knew him

She tried to hold him, hold on forever, hold on forever



For all that never happens

And all that never will be

A candle burning

For the love we seldom keep



The earth was raw in her fingers

She overturned it

Considered planting some flowers

They wouldn't last long, no one to tend them



It's funny how these things go

You were the answer to all the questions

The memories made her weary

She shuddered slowly, she didn't want to, she didn't want to



For all that never happens

And all that never will be

A candle burning

For the love we seldom keep



As a distant summer

He began to whisper

He threw a smile her way

She looked into the glass

Liquid surface showing

That they were melding together, present, past



So where can I go from here?

The color fading, he didn't answer

She felt him slip from her vision

She tried to hold him, hold on forever, hold on forever



For all that never happens

And all that never will be

A fire burning

For the love we seldom keep



And for all that never happens

And all that never will be

So close forever

In a silent frozen sleep



Oooooh...

Oooooh...

Oooooh...

Oooooh...

Oooooh...

Aaaaah...
