4. If only it were true

I’ve read in a book, how it should look
About a young man, the young girl he took
And that’s how it seemed, a sweet lover’s dream
Only the magic could come between us

If only it were true, only it were true
I would be with you, I would be with you

For soon came the day, they took you away
I was left standing with nothing to say
Now we’re apart, I’ve cried out my heart
Now I must look around me and start again

I’m biding my time, toeing the line
Throwing myself into all kinds of things
Having my fill, missing you still
Always I’m wondering when will I see you
Again, again, again
When will I see you again

I still have the book, sometimes I look
See the young man, the young girl he took
But the colours are pale, the spells have all failed
Now I can see that our fairy-tale
May end
