In the sky I see my weakness
all day long I dream about you
promise made that we won't meet anymore
never been so hard to break with the past
sweet world it's over, dream time is over
another story comes and goes
lying by your side in the park
can't take my eyes off of you
floating in a tall-grass sea of green
never been so hard to break with the past
sweet world it's over, dream time is over
another story comes and goes
in the sky I see your reflection
gust of wind carries the scent of your hair
on your lips there's a taste I won't remember
never been so hard to break with the past
sweet world it's over, dream time is over
