The Petal Falls - A Lifetime Too Late

Like a solemn flint
On a lifeless beach
Love once littered the lessons I would not teach
Blown by a wind to a hostile city
Bleached by a sun that shows no pity
This picture I paint has no name
Just the oil and cloth within a crumbling frame
And when you have nobody
And you want somebody
And you need somebody

So many tears they fell like rain
I wish I had my life time again
You couldn't save me from the mark of Kane
But you still forgave me
And it kept, it kept me sane

Through these eyes
I close forever
I see no life
But a life line to sever
And the river runs
The petals fall
And the hand of God
It touches us all
But here I stand
Once more alone
Just a mortal man
I'm just flesh and bone
And I cry to the wind
Oh I cry to the wind

So many tears they fell like rain
I wish I had my life time again
You couldn't save me from the mark of Kane
But you still forgave me
And it kept, kept me sane
So many tears they fell like rain
So many things I can't explain
I saw your face in a cloudy sky
And I stood still
As a lifetime passed me by

As a lifetime passed me by
Someone said the line between love and hate is so thin
And you can't always see where one will end and the other will begin

So many tears they fell like rain
I wish I had my life time again
But you couldn't save me from the mark of Kane
But you still forgave me
And it kept, kept me sane
So many tears they fell like rain
So many things I can't explain
I saw your face in a cloudy sky
And I stood still
As a lifetime passed me by

Bye bye

So many tears they fell like rain
When you want somebody
And you need and you need somebody
So many tears they fell like rain
You still, but you still forgave me
Even though you couldn't, no you couldn't save me
So many tears they fell like rain
And the hand of God it touches, touches every single one of us
So many tears they fell like rain
So hear I stand once more alone
I'm just a man, just a man, I'm just, I'm just flesh, flesh and bone
So many tears they fell like rain
So many tears they fell like rain
If I had my life time again, over and over again
So many tears they fell like rain
If I had my life time again, my lifetime over again
So many tears they fell like rain
