10. The point you pass

The point you pass a thousand times
Is the point of no return
Never you say is it worth giving up
And it’s never time to turn
We can’t waste all that we’ve spent
All the hope that we had pinned
Where there’s a spark there can still be a flame
That old candle in the wind

We fear the loneliness to come
As we fear the one that’s here
See the empty future roll
From the present all too clear
We believe in love’s great sweep
And we tremble at its feet
Watch each other with eyes tight closed
And we won’t admit defeat

Stand calm alone and look straight ahead
With eyes of clear resolve
Divorce yourself from where you are led
And let the shame dissolve
It’s finished worlds change and so must
You are not what you once were
Hold on as the storm envelopes you
It’s finished hearts break and so must
Yours so you can love again
Hold on as the wreckage breaks in two

We all make patterns in our lives
And we cling to what we know
Stay forever with a hundred times grey
Than we let the colours flow
We have loved and have seen it out
And now the end has come in sight
But how oh how do we let it go
And just pass into the night?
