Verse 1
GONE are the moments that made it all so real
departed with our childlike dreams
GONE is the sunshine that chased shadows away
along with rainbows at noon of my rainy day

Verse 2
GONE are the outlines of a half remembered face
and with it many smiles which so caressed
GONE is the warmth and comfort contained within that smile
that fostered so many moments worthwhile

Chorus 1
and if I could retract
the lies and all the facts
where would I be standing now
and if I could change my tack
regain the wind within my sails
where would I be heading now
and if I could take it back
what more would I do
would it make a difference to you

Guitar Solo

Verse 3
GONE are the feelings replaced with emptiness
GONE are prior feelings of deep content
and GONE is the hunger for to scale the lofty heights
GONE like a vanquished fool who failed to pass the test

Chorus 2
and if I could retract
the lies and all the facts
where would I be standing now
and if I could change my tack
regain the wind within my sails
where would I be heading now
and if I could take it back
what more would I do
would it make a difference to you

Verse 4
GONE are my yesterdays now dissolved in the mists of time
GONE is the bridge that leads over this wall
