Reflecting from my deathbed, 
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, 
Or 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 were 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 through my fingers 
No not literally, 
But metaphorically 
And now you're all I see...as the light fades...
