The deceitful album

I open the dust covered album to relive the time we spent
Too blind to see, time changed you my friend

How close we were
How much merrier

From then to now
What happened and how

Let bygones be bygones
Let us unturn the stones

Not once not twice
With every dice

The album deceives me
With every photo I see

I once again put out my hand to grab you
But that memory was just a dew

You slip through my hand
Like the dessert sand

You were there, believe me
I was there, believe me
The photo is telling our story remember
But life is a river and the memory is a drop of water

 I forget that very often
 That album becomes a burden

Only thing I can say
I knew that drop once
We swam together for hours at end
But now it's time to say adiós my friend
