Recorded Live at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia

lyrics

Where'd our days go,
And our nighttimes too?
What became of the missing places
In the mosaic of our youth
We're here now and weighed down
By our dreams and hopes
On a meek little dream cloud city
On a fog-lined coast
We're reaching out without a sound
As our memories drift in vain
Like raindrops racing down the sides
Of a misty window pane
Far too many here to recollect
And way to wild to tame
Like a raging river flowing down
It will wash away our pain

Well if i only knew
If i only knew
If I only knew
Then maybe i would have listened more
And seen what life is for,
But i didn't know

And what became of all those summer days
On a blissful afternoon
That led to carefree nights
Beneath the light of a pale vanilla moon
Soon as we grew,
The storm that brewed
Fell heavy on us too
And it stripped away
Everything we saved
And everything we knew
Another year it passes by so fast
Like a lightning's flashing beam
Or a candle killed in the still of the night
By a rainy windswept stream
So we shed our tears and bled our fears
And soon our eyes would see
That the familiar land held in our hands
Would be a distant memory

Well if i only knew
If I only knew
If I only knew
Then maybe i would have listened more
And seen what life is for
But I didn't know

Now we're standing 'neath the falling leaves
On a frozen autumn's end
With a wild forbidden winter waiting
Just behind the bend
And a far too distant summer fading,
A lifetime came and went
We seek and search,
Hope to unearth
What the mystery of it meant
So we ride and glide with heels up high,
And the sky beneath our feet
And we watch the hands of time tick by
Ever faster by the beat
But there are things in life that you will find
That you should never grieve
Or regret the things that you can't change
On a fragment of a dream

Well if I only knew
If I only knew
If I only knew
Then maybe I would have listened more
And seen what life is for
But i didn't know
