Helena you came to me

When seemingly life had begun

Little did I know then

Where this would go

When this begun

Once I was free to fly

I never promised anything

This may well be goodbye



Don't ask why

Don't be sad

Sometimes we all must alter paths we planned

Only try -- understand

I want to save you

From the lost and damned



Although you hold me close

I feel retention arise

Just as a hint of fear

Like subtle clouds

In summer skies

Once in the moonlight

I can't explain

And I don't know

Somehow we may reunite



Don't ask why

Don't be sad

Sometimes we all must alter paths we planned

Don't forget

What we had

But let me save you from the lost and damned



Love means nothing to me

If there is a higher place to be



Helena don't you cry

Believe me, I do this for you

Heed my decision now

I will be gone tomorrow noon

My tale has just begun

Nothing can take my faith away

In my quest for the sun



Don't ask why

Don't be sad

Sometimes we all must alter paths we planned

Only try

Understand

I want to save you from the lost and damned



Don't ask why

Don't be sad

Sometimes we all must alter paths we planned

Leave me behind

Don't look back

Cause deep within you know I'm lost and damned
