Old and Distant Memory

I'm an old and distant memory

I got cold and you got bored with me

Now I ride the seasons back and forth

Through a stained-glass window after thought

You said a man's reach should exceed his grasp

Oh, what's a heaven for?

Now this ship's full sail upon a path

And we've lost sight of the shore

But I never, never, never get it right

But I never, never, never lost the light

See the clouds of impulse moving in

Break the chains that we've been living in

I remember summer's been and gone

Like a far-off childhood memory of a song

Make fresh footprints in these pastures new

Well, what you waiting for?

Take a last look at your favourite view

'Cause it's not there anymore

But I never, never, never get it right

But I never, never, never lost the light

But I never, never, never get it right

But I never, never, never lost the light

I'm an old and distant memory

I got cold and you got bored of me
