Reckoning Night
In good old times, remember my friend 
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes 


We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss? 
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now? 


Can we ever have what we had then? 
Friendship unbreakable 
Love means nothing to me 
Without blinking an eye 
I'd fade, if so needed, 
All those moments with you 
If I had you beside me" 


One cloudy day we both lost the game? 
We drifted so far and away 


Nothing is quite as cruel as a child 
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes? 


And we'll never have what we had then 
Friendship unbroken 
Love means nothing to me 
Without blinking an eye 
I'd fade, if so needed, 
All those moments with you 
If I had you beside me now


I was unable to cope with what you said 
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind 
Child that I was, could not see the reason 
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie? 


I have never forgotten your smile 
Your eyes, oh, Shamandalie 


Time went by, many memories died 
I'm writing this down to ease my pain 


You saw us always clearer than me 
How we were never meant to be 
Love denied meant the friendship would die 
Now I have seen the light 
These memories make me cry 


Can I ever have what I had then? 
Friendship unbroken 
Love means nothing to me 
Without blinking an eye 
I'd fade, if so needed, 
All those moments with you 
See the world with my wide open eyes 


Friendship got broken 
There's no other for me 
Like the one of my childhood days 
Can you forgive me? 
Love got better off me, 
On that one day back in old times
