Too Beautiful

We cannot cross
this chasm deep
cannot climb
this mountain steep
separating our souls
apart we sleep

Prisoners of the wall
we built up stone by stone
between us it stands high
leaving us... each one alone
no wonder here to see
standing fast where we belong

Our lives are now closed
we two are worlds away
who used to once embrace
left apart... we couldn't stay
the blinds are drawn now
we're in the dark... done is the day

The time to love
somehow is past
the endless road
dividing us is vast
it was too beautiful
I know it would not last
