Alain Whyte - Never Played Symphonies lyrics

Reflecting from my d**hbed I'm balancing life's riches against the ditches And the flat gray years in between All I can see are the never-laid That's the never-played symphonies I can't see those who tried to love me All those who felt they understood me And I can't see those who very patiently put up with me All I can see are the never-laid Or the never-played symphonies You were one, you meant to be one And you jumped into my face and laughed And kissed me on the cheek and then were gone forever ...not quite Black sky in the daytime And I don't much mind dying When there is nothing left to care for anymore Just the never-laid, the never-played symphonies You were one, you knew you were one And you slipped right thru my fingers No not literally but metaphorically And now you're all I see as the light fades
