[Verse 1]
Don't be sad for what will never be
Be glad you didn't have to see
This time became a part of me
And now this burning memory
[Verse 2]
The sun will break the night till dawn
And then we'll tell some tales again
And when the time has come and gone
The wind will carry on and on
The wind will carry on and on
The wind will carry on and on
Day One was written by Scott Reeder.
