Goodbye forever ye halcyon days Scattered in pieces the sweet promise lays That once filled the air like a sweet chilly breeze At first cool and gentle, but then made me freeze Some day you'll awake and you'll know it's too late Your hopes and desires just scattered by fate Some day you'll awake and you'll know it's too late Your hopes and desires just scattered by fate Your memories stained by the present you bear Your future's as grey as the coat that you wear Your songs are forgotten, alas Your roses are dead The wind blows, they whisper and rustle All the swallows have fled
