if by chance you're free to hold
for one brief spot inside of time
i pray for sense to let you go
if by chance you are not mine.
for all that glitters can't be gold
it tarnishes and fades
all i'm left holding in my hands
is what you'll give away.
the chance of gold ~ a spot of time
to be with you ~ to make you mine
live again ~ then slowly die
everything has a price ...
