Lyrics

Verse 1:
‘Twas a splendid childhood,
Charmingly allure
Satiated by wonders
And magic to explore.

I dreamt that neverending
Was the winding forest road,
That someday a shiny rainbow
Will reveal a pot of gold.

Castles, fairies, airships,
Sorcerers, machines
It all appeared tangible,
hauntingly within reach.

A scent of coffee, morning press,
Crayons playfully invoke,
Grandpa let us play some chess!
Beloved furry toy, a book.

Chorus 1:
And my heart, it feels so heavy
As I witness withering away
Gardens and rainbows turning grey.

Abundantly my life was painted
But now the colours seem expelled
The forest path led to a cell.

Verse 2:
‘Twas a splendid childhood,
Charmingly allure,
Satiated by wonders
And magic to explore.

Wasn’t neverending
The meandering forest road,
One day the shiny rainbow
Was no more to behold.

All castles, fairies, airships,
Sorcerers, machines
Grown elusively transparent,
Dispersed, without a glimpse.

The scent of coffee, morning press,
Dissipated like perfume.
Grandpa, without goodbye you left…
Remained merely the gloom.

Chorus 1:…

(Instrumental)

Chorus 2:
And my heart, it feels so heavy
As I witness withering away
Gardens and rainbows, turning grey.

The sky has lost its gleamy shimmer,
And its mesmerising breadth,
The boats have sailed to Neverland.

The crayons dried, lying useless,
Blue Marble, furry toys – all gone.
It seems that good had never won.

‘Tis now a memory I cherish,
To warm me – shivering of frost,
The colours faded, hope is lost.
