Nothing that has me trapped, <br />In memories passed is coming back! <br />No thrill I will upon myself... <br />Comes to repeat. <br />Like soft keys on a piano played! <br /> <br />And although I may mellow with age, <br />Like a fine wine... <br />No amount of it I drink, <br />Dances in my mind to comfort or soothe <br />The reality of you not being near <br />With me now! <br />I am hungover with too much hope! <br />Doped up, <br />With a love I can't let go! <br />And I'm paying too much of a price, <br />Trying to drink you here into my life again! <br /> <br />'Once more... <br />Play for me Frederic! <br />I am in a prelude in e-minor mood. <br />Play until this opus leaves my scope!
