[Verse 1]
I saw it coming long ago
When you were burning bright
But there was just no way
To burn that way forever

[Verse 2]
But day to week, and month to year
From gold to black and blue
I have been there for you
Until I told you "never again"

[Pre-Chorus]
Secrets and lies
Were all you would sing
Where did you go
You beautiful thing

[Chorus]
Oh, something took you over and far away
Your eyes that held the sun are stormy grey
I wish I had the magic to make you stay
But something took you over
And far away

[Verse 3]
Flying through the desert night
Until the moon would set
But when we'd all retire
You'd soon conspire and disappear
[Verse 4]
Oh, Alice in her wonderland
Became the queen of hearts
And with a cheshire grin
You'd sneak back in and reappear again

[Pre-Chorus]
Secrets and lies
Were all you would sing
Where did you go
You beautiful thing

[Chorus]
Oh, something took you over and far away
Your eyes that held the sun are stormy grey
I wish I had the magic to make you stay
But something took you over

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, something took you over gradually
You're losing all your friends and family
It's killing me to even have to say
That something took you over
And far away

[Verse 5]
I pray that someday you'll return
With the sun back in your eyes
And if that wish comes true
I promise you I'll be there again
[Chorus]
Oh, something took you over and far away
Your eyes that held the sun are stormy grey
I wish I had the magic to make you stay
But something took you over
And far away

[Outro]
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
Far away
