"By the Way"
key of d minor
4/4 time




When I was young, songs that were sung were from the heart and life had meaning
There was magic in the air, inspiration everywhere, all the time.

Chorus

All I ever wanted was to be with you
your guiding light and mystery to see me through
but you only took me as far as you wanted to
then you left me all alone, sad and blue.

You couldnt know what you meant to me
you were the only thing that I could see
when you left you took my love with you
there was nothing that I could do
for you

We both went on our seperate ways but ever since that lonely day
it has never been the same
I built a wall to shelter me from all of lifes sweet ecstacy
and I cant go back

Chorus

You couldnt know what would become of me
I was lost when I couldnt be
found in your shadow by your side
I thought right then that I would surely die

So much time has now gone by
yet now matter how I try
I cant let go
That feeling that was yesterday
has long since fallen by the way
please set me free

Chorus

Now nothing can ever be the same
love has died since come that day
times stands still and the musics stopped
you keep going and I cant start
to escape a prison of my own design
to free the vision in my mind
of the beauty that once was you
and the love that I once knew

All I ever wanted was to be with you
but you left me all alone sad and blue

Now the memory is all but gone
what once was right now is wrong
all my world is upside down
I am lost but I can be found
chasing the phantom that once was you
never knowing whats really true
the magics gone, my youths been spent
someone tell me where the time has gone

All I ever wanted was to be with you.....
 
Dragon,
I'm having a hard time deciding whether this is a spiritual song, or a fantasy love song.

I really like the lyrics, very solid. I also agree about the way life "used to be" even at the risk of sounding like my Father.
