Touching Once (Is So Hard to Keep) - 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

Makes chances of a lifetime course across your eyes

To 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

That 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
