Gratitude
Faces In Disguise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We should whisper goodbye here
where our road parts
and new pathways unfold
into shifting lullabies

Let us wave hands,
kisses at the distance
you will certainly find
your way into new ties

For there's nothing to regain
Sweetheart, farewell!
In my immense gratitude
It's you I won't forget

Her fading silhouette resembles
a singing bird at a forest
of abandoned dreams and wishes
where unwillingly we failed

Should there be another
time of laughter and regret
we will meet again
we will meet again some day

For there's nothing to regain
Sweetheart, farewell!
In my immense gratitude
It's you I won't forget

We should whisper goodbye here
where our road parts




we will meet again
we will meet again some day
