Reverie’s End

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hope is a flickering beacon I know Often are we disappointed Still the mind wanders down beckoning roads Innocence ever undaunted We picked each other out of the crowd And passed through a hidden door We danced through the night never touching the ground Adoring being adored [Chorus] Crying two times for the good times we had And the times sometimes we'd dream of Once for the love in the palm of our hands Once for reverie's end [Verse 2] We planned the whole wedding but only in fun Of course we weren't ready to promise We pictured your belly swollen and round A daydream so lovely and harmless Doubts like dragonflies buzzed in the heat And we smiled at panic's inventions 'Til they dogged our days and dragged us from sleep And dashed our sweetest intentions [Chorus] Crying two times for the good times we had And the times sometimes we'd dream of Once for the love in the palm of our hands Once for reverie's end [Bridge] For the past is but memory brittle and dry And the future is just wishful thinking Now is the only time we are alive Try to grasp it it's gone in a blinking [Verse 3] I wake in the night now amazed and alone From dreaming that you lay beside me Once again learning how little I know Trying to treat myself kindly And I swear that next time I'll take it slow And steady my imagination One day I'll keep my eyes on the road Instead of my destination [Chorus] Crying two times for the good times we had And the times sometimes we'd dream of Once for the love in the palm of our hands Once for reverie's end Once for reverie's end
