It does no good to close my eyes For in my mind I can still see The sum of what we used to be So now from me I must subtract The part of you that I now lack And distance ‘tween us multiplies As what was once close now divides So though again I wish we’d meet Our souls instead have chose retreat Our loving stream no longer flows And gap between us only grows For though you were my sweetest friend The greatest things still have an end So now I say my last goodbye To love that never should have died
