Almosttown Songtext
von Seven Spires

Cold stone beneath my feet
Wrapped in furs and dressing gown
November night caressed my face
The only fond touch I allow
Moonlight floods my bedroom
Through the window where I gaze
From far above the mad and merry crowd

Candlelight and laughter
Warms their windows, crease their faces
Around the bonfire in the square
The songs of all their ages
They′re the lost and broken
I'm their keeper in the keep
But they sing words that I can′t bear to speak aloud


They sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn't wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years
So don't wait until your life is over
Say your piece now
Or join the lost souls in my Almosttown

Now I spend eternity
With songs I never wrote
Peace in isolation
In the fortress I call home
Perched in a stone gesture
Looming lonely in the sky
Musing on those endless might-have-beens

While they sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn′t wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years
So keep your dream alive
Never bend or bow
Or you′ll join the lost souls in my Almosttown

Did I choose the wrong fate?
Will I ever know?
Realising too late
Don't know where to go


All those years spent dreaming, fighting
Never knowing why
I can′t deny what I have always been
Yeah

They sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn't wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years (friends they lost to years)
So keep your dream alive
Never bend or bow
Or you′ll join the lost souls in my Almosttown
