lyrics

He is walking to her house
Fingers poised above the bell
But he cannot find the courage
So he walks away -- oh well
He writes a heartfelt letter
But he doesn't send it off
So he tiptoes through his life
Till every chance at love is lost
And he sees her now, as he sees her always
Looking like a lonely angel
He sees her now, as she was in those days
But that won't help him now
It won't help him now...

CHORUS:
Oh no -- it's too late
And time will pass you by
Words you don't say
Become the tears that you do cry

She is cradling her baby
In some ancient memory
But that dream is closer to her
Than that child will ever be
And she watches as he's growing
Just for six weeks every June
She yearns for some connection
But he always leaves too soon
And she sees him now, as she sees him always
Looking like a perfect stranger
She takes his hand, reaching for the old days
But that won't help her now
He won't have her now...

CHORUS

We ride this speeding train
Tunnel's dark, tracks are narrow
Moving faster every day
I look back for a glimpse of sun
And find you gone...
So many times we shy away
Waiting for the perfect moment
When we'll know just what to say
Now I'm ready, speech prepared
And you are gone
And the train goes on

CHORUS

The success of their first concert-musical, the critically-acclaimed holiday show STRIKING 12, has led them farther into the world of theatre, where they have carved out a unique niche as a rock band writing and performing shows. ... more
