Lyrics:

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
Which way to the years I've let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear

Oh to see the sun's eclipse
on the horizon like ships
sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I'll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings
Give me those wings

Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I'm weightless again
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

Before I'll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

most underrated band of all time in my opinion 

[KallolBanerjee]

Poets of the Fall is a band that could be listened to for hours... deep into the night. Wonderful meaningful music! I came across their music just a couple of years back (POTF is not so well known in India) and have been in love with what they create ever since.

[taha]

it seems like POTF understand everybody's feelings

[wyntertheicewyvern]

I will always love this band. Their music reaches out to everyone, and has real, deep meaning to it.No music has ever touched my heart and soul like music by Poets of the Fall.

[zigga]

This song is so beautifully written I just can't live without listening to it once a day

[nisa_benthon]

This song sends me in time i´ve never been. Makes me feel alone and fantastically homesick.

[adamCarter]

that solo is magical, it just runs right through your soul

[leidosapiens]

I keep coming back to this song, again and again. It is beyond beautiful! The lyrics are out of this world.... I absolutely adore PotF <3

[georgeattard]

Utterly beautiful lyrics and such a touching song gives me inspiration. Thank you Poets of the fall i wish you would come to Malta marvelus group with so much talent from Uncle G

[rikbanerjee]

Beautiful as usual by POTF_ Believe it or not, this beautiful song makes me feel spiritual and leave all worldly matters from now on_ The sceneries are also very beautiful_ 💖💫

[majujuduthechannel]

That song is a beautiful one *-* Love Poets of the Fall now and forever <3

[varunbhardwaj]

amazing lyrics and spectacular depiction of childhood

[victormitroi]

give them billions of fans and they will start producing mediocre music.
it's better this way. we know them, we appreciate them, and we try to show others the beauty that lies inside this band's songs. from my own experience of searching for good music, I've never found unique music like in the top of the charts. they are hidden. and that's how they have to be. peace, love, and enjoy the magic :) !

[NiETa]

I can´t describe how much I love them ! <3

[conniejones]

Fall like a leaf in the wind... the lyrics in this song really brings out detailed reflections on what was, is and will be

[TheKisshu]

I freaking love Poets of the Fall!!! <3 <3 <3

[SquabbleZZ]

We talk about old times, better days behind us,
Sorrow lurks in tomorrow, so can't we rewind?
When best friends become strangers to us all,
The urge to pluck my own eyes cannot be fathomed,
I see memories and sorrow, how I'd love to be blind,
So that I may never endure the burdens they force inside,
