From the recording Karine Hannah - "Karine"

Lyrics

CHRONOLOGICAL SURVEY

WE STARTED WITH THE TOUCH OF SPRING
WE MADE IT PAST THE STORM
THE CLOUDS OF RESTLESS WINDS WERE GRAY
WE GAVE THE SKY A NEW FORM
THE WORLD WAS GETTING BRIGHTER THEN
THE TIME EXACTLY RIGHT
WHEN MY SONG BEGAN, YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE

WE SANG, WE HEARD THE SKYLARKS SING
WE FILLED IT WITH OUR SUN
OUR LOVE COULD CONQUER ANYTHING
WE LET IT BE THE ONE
ITS WEARING OFF, ITS GETTING AGED
THEN CAME AS A SURPRISE
WHEN THE SEASON CHANGED, THE FIRST DROP LEFT MY EYES

ALL GONE WRONG
WE NEVER HAD IT ALL CONTROLLED
WE NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO TRY
WE NEVER HAD IT

ALL UNDONE
WE PASSED IT BY AND NOW IT’S GONE
WE SHOULD’VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE
WE COULDN’T

WE HAD OUR SUDDEN UPS AND DOWNS
WE LAUGHED, AT TIMES WE CRIED
THE TRUTH HIT RIGHT BETWEEN OUR EYES
WE TRIED TO DISREGARD
WE TWO WERE STARVING FOR A BREAK
A HOLIDAY APART
WHEN IT DIDN’T COME, NO WONDER WE RETARD

WE NEVER GOT THE WARNINGS CLEAR
WE WERE TOO CLOSE TO JUDGE
MISTAKES CAUSED NO EARNEST FEAR
MISTAKES, THEY COST FOR SO MUCH
WE NEVER SEEM TO LEARN FROM THEM
THEY NEVER SEEM TO TEACH
I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD BE OUT OF REACH

AND SO, I’M RUNNING OUT OF HOPE
PAIN ADMITS NO HEALING
NOW THAT I’M BEYOND MY SCOPE
THIS FREAK, UNSTEADY FEELING
I’M ALL ALONE WHEN TIMES GET ROUGH
YET HERE AGAIN… IN TOUCH
I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT I NEEDED YOU THIS MUCH

I’M ALL ALONE WHEN TIMES GET ROUGH
YET HERE AGAIN… IN TOUCH
I HAVE NEVER KNOWN I NEEDED YOU THIS MUCH
