Illusion was the name
Of every single game
Now they've all disappeared from my view
Yes they've all disappeared as my time does grow near
But I hope that I'll remember you
For when it all melts away
It was never meant to stay
And I need you just to carry me back home
All of the years
All of the laughter and tears
How it seemed they were traded in vain
But somehow I know
There's a place where I will go
Where I'll find all my life there contained
For when it all melts away
It was never meant to stay
And I need you just to carry me back home
Well now old friend
Have we really reached the end
Is there nothing left for us
To say or do?
Have we shared our last cry
Have we told our last lie
And by the way
Have I forgiven you?
For when it all melts away
It was never meant to stay
And I need you just to carry me back home
For when it all melts away
It was never meant to stay
And I need you just to carry me back home
