Crystal coloured glass containing pictures of my past And wonders that you never even dreamed Light reflecting shades of my childhood younger days And rainbows sometimes never having rained Times that went so fast, good times that couldn't last Like lightning, never striking twice Years that weren't so bad, the days that weren't so bright Like clouds that formed and broke up over night I climb the twisting path of fate And I look down on the village far below And the rain comes and mingles with my tears Why I'm crying I will never know The misty image forms of a time not now recalled A wave then ripples on a broken shore Past present future too, come flashing into view Like thunder claps that cannot be ignored And the wind blows through the corridors of years And my hair is white, many winter snows And the rain comes and mingles with my tears Why I'm crying, I will never know I climb the twisting path of fate And I look down on the village far below And the rain comes and mingles with my tears Why I'm crying I will never know And the rain comes and mingles with my tears Why I'm crying, I will never know
