And Yet - Chen

I was the one who let her go I let her down when I let her know That our dreams were not the same I let her walk away Without a word, without a fight She moved on to new life As for me, I don't look back on what we had Those days are gone Life must go on And yet I wonder does she ever dream of me Late at night? I guess there will always be some choices in this life That we regret I know we'll never love again And yet If it had gone another way If she were here with me today Would we both be happy now Without a single doubt That our love was strong enough To outweigh what we gave up I guess we'll never know But I really don't think so Cuz right or wrong life must go on And yet I wonder does she ever dream of me Late at night? I guess there will always be some choices in this life That we regret I know we'll never love again And yet I guess there will always be some choices in this life We regret I know we'll never love again And yet

This town, this stain on the sunrise Disguised in the mist this morning It's 8 a.m., a seagull shouts a sailor's warning This sky, this bend in the river Slows down and delivers me, the tide rolls black And all my memories fade to black And yet, and yet I'm back This town has a strange magnetic pull Like homing signal in your skull And you sail by the stars of the hemisphere Wondering how in the hell did you end up here? It's like an underground river, or hidden stream That flows through your head, and haunts your dreams And you stuffed those dreams in this canvas sack And there's nothing round here that the world lacks And yet, and yet you're back Some nights I'd lie on the deck, and I'd stare at the turning of the stars Those constellations hanging up there from the cables and the rigging I'd wonder if she saw the same, or managed to recall my name Why would she ever think of me? Some boy she loved who fled to sea? And why waste time debating whether she'd be waiting for the likes of me? So yet drift into port with the scum of the seas To the dance halls and the brothels where you took your ease And the ship's left the dock, but you're half past caring And you haven't got a clue whose bed you're sharing And your head's like a hammer on a bulkhead door And it feels like somebody might have broken your jaw And there's bloodstains and glass all over the floor And you swear to God ye'll drink no more And yet, and yet In truth, it's too late to find her Too late to remind her at some garden gate Where a servant tells me I should wait And perhaps a door's slammed in my face My head must be in outer space And yet, and yet Before the sun has set Before the sea There may be something else that's waiting for the likes of me This town, this stain on the sunrise

Come inside, let's stay a while As the misty morning kiss the sky I have for you a fairy tale Untold, unspoken Words I said and deeds I've done With foolish pride I have touched the sun Some things I did, I apologize Ooh, I'm sorry Not for the things that they made me do Only for the times I failed to see them through In the end, we only will regret The things we did not do This message to you When life will end, we do not know My time is here, I gotta go I tread the path of no return To find my purpose I walk through life, my spirit's high 'Cause I am me, that's my battle cry Bruised and scarred, that's who I am Ooh, I remember Stars was aligned and the sky adorned Winter came on the night that I was born And I knew right there at the start That this is my life I'll stand the test of time My star cannot shine Without darkness around Even though I've been scarred for life I must fight to reconcile And yet I smile, I'm alive My star cannot shine Without darkness around Even though I've been scarred for life I must fight to reconcile And yet I smile, I'm alive My star cannot shine Without darkness around Even though I've been scarred for life I must fight to reconcile And yet I smile, I'm alive
