Touching Once (is So Hard To Keep) Lyrics - Novella - Renaissance

Leaving all their thoughts behind 

Passing over timeless wastes of ecstasy 

Freedom strangled at the source 

Takes the only charted course that leads them home 

Their bodies move towards the dawn 

The light in which a nation born 

Can only hope, and only weep 

Their passion may be growing weak 

How was alone 

Recall me if you can 

I feel I am lost within you 

Many times within the sound of emptiness 

A light has shown deep in each others soul 

Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole 

Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams 

Made life and living a faded scene 

To give a name locked in despair 

Chances of a lifetime course across your eyes 

Give and get, and yet return 

Emotion smoulders, starts to burn in harmony 

They lay within a ruined shell 

Searching for the time to tell 

He who followed endlessly 

Does not exist, can never be 

How was alone 

Recall me if you can 

I feel I have lost within you 

A part of what is held inside a deep regret 

Taking over all that a hearts request 

Answered by cries from a wilderness 

Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep 

Touching once is so hard to keep 

In emptiness, a light has shown deep in each others soul 

Keeps them apart, a love now makes them whole 

Fractured memories tearing at all their dreams 

Made life and living a faded scene 

Taking over all that a hearts request 

Answered by cries from a wilderness 

Found forgotten lying in deeper sleep 

Touching once is so hard to keep
