She was to me
As time is to eternity
We were so free
By Lake Isle of Innersfree

My wounds have bled
Was it something I left unsaid
Where do I go
Seems like aeons of years ago
When she lived for me

I see her face
Then it's gone without a trace
Now it's only me
By Lake Isle of Innersfree

Love sped too fast
I look into my future past
So be my fate
She is gone from me and still I wait
And endlessly

She was only seventeen
You might say in her prime
She said we'd do it all my friend
We'd do it all in time
But now a stranger to myself
I think about it now and then
When she was only seventeen
I was eight and ten

What's become of my life
What's become of my life
Each day I live, each day I die
What's become of my life
Each day gone by I learn to live another lie
As time goes by
As time goes by
As time goes by
As time goes by.
