10,000 Maniacs - All That Never Happens

She walks alone on the brick lane, the breeze is blowing. 
A year had changed her forever, just like her grey home. 
He used to live so close here, we`d look for places I can`t remember. 
The world was safe when she knew him, she tried to hold him, 
hold on forever. 
For all that never happens and all that never will be, 
a candle burning for the love we seldom keep. 
The earth was raw in her fingers, she overturned it. 
Considered planting some flowers, they wouldn`t last long, 
no one to tend them. It`s funny how these things go, 
you were the answer to all the questions. 
The memories made her weary, she shuddered slowly, she didn`t want to. 
As a distant summer he began to whisper, and threw a smile her way. 
She looked into the glass, liquid surface showing that they were melding, 
together present past. 
So where can I go from here? 
The color fading, he didn`t answer. 
She felt him slip from her vision. 
She tried to hold him, hold on forever. 
So close forever, in a silent frozen sleep.
