For The Heart I Once Had

nightwish

Heaven today is but a way

To a place I once called home

Heart of a child, one final sigh

As another love goes cold

Once my heart beated at the rythmn of the falling snow

Blackened now

the river now flows

a stream of molten virgin snow

For the heart I never had

For the child forever gone

the music flows

because it longs

for the heart I once had

Living today without a way

to understand the weight of the world

Faded and torn, old and forlorn

My weak and hoping heart

For the child, for the light, for the heart I once had

I’ll believe and foresee everything I could ever be

For the hear I’ll never had

For the child forever gone

the music flows

because it longs

for the heart I once had

Time will not heal

a Dead Boy’s scars

time will kill

For the heart I’ll never have

For the child forever gone

the music flows

because it longs

for the heart I once had
