10000 Maniacs - All That Never Happens Lyrics
She walks alone on the brick laneThe breeze is blowingA year had changed her foreverJust like her grey homeHe used to live so close, hereWed look for places I cant rememberThe world was safe when she knew himShe tried to hold him, hold on forever, hold on foreverFor all that never happensAnd all that never will beA candle burningFor the love we seldom keepThe earth was raw in her fingersShe overturned itConsidered planting some flowersThey wouldnt last long, no one to tend themIts funny how these things goYou were the answer to all the questionsThe memories made her wearyShe shuddered slowly, she didnt want to, she didnt want toFor all that never happensAnd all that never will beA candle burningFor the love we seldom keepAs a distant summerHe began to whisperHe threw a smile her wayShe looked into the glassLiquid surface showingThat they were melding together, present, pastSo where can I go from here?The color fading, he didnt answerShe felt him slip from her visionShe tried to hold him, hold on forever, hold on foreverFor all that never happensAnd all that never will beA fire burningFor the love we seldom keepAnd for all that never happensAnd all that never will beSo close foreverIn a silent frozen sleepOooooh...Oooooh...Oooooh...Oooooh...Oooooh...Aaaaah...
