Violins by V. Rose Cieri

lyrics

Once, not long ago anything could happen
I caught a beam of light but it left me empty-handed
For everything I'd done, and all the years that'd passed
Well it put the fire out and it shattered all the glass

Now some time's gone by and I have grown older
My heart is ill at ease and regret hands o'er my shoulder
Wish we could have persevered in the love we'd briefly known
But I'm powerless and I know it's out of my control

One day I'll reach my hand and I'll catch the lightning
Maybe I'll see you then? The future is so frightening
Seek it though I may, there's nothing to grab on to
Nothing left to say -- nothing to return to.

Once when I was young, anything could happen
