about

We go back in time, 15 years to be exact, to the memories he’s been trying to force away into repress. The year is 1974 and The Dreamer has been with The Rose for a little more than 3½ years. On this day, The Dreamer and The Rose had a fight at home, no more or less than the kind of fight that can occur in any relationship. Not having the time there and then to sort things out, she had left home to go to work in a very emotional state of mind due to the fight they had. Sadly, on her way to work, she was involved in a traffic accident.

The Dreamer receives a phone call about his wife being at the hospital. The Dreamer drops the phone, drives to the hospital and witnesses her passing by the hospital bed on this autumn day. Before passing away, she never regained consciousness and so The Dreamer never had the opportunity to say goodbye. The Dreamer is in chock, breaks down and later experiences extreme anger, blaming himself for what happened to her. He considers himself guilty for having put her in an incautious state of mind before leaving home and thinks that if it wasn’t for him, she would have been more cautious.

He drives home in rage, screams in emotional pain as he isolates himself in their home that had now become his fortress of solitude. He would spend his upcoming years not being able to forgive himself and not being able to find the same connection that he had with The Rose. As far as he in concerned, she was the only one to ever truly understand him.

lyrics

[October 5, 1974]

[The Dreamer:]
Yet another day will pass us
With rejoicing and with bliss
Filled with love up to the brim
Just like the days when we first met
This day is like any other
Filled with passion and such lust
Though our words clashed into each other
The flame went dim and swallowed us

Don’t walk away
Let’s settle this the right way
Don’t walk away
Don’t walk into the heavy rain

You are nowhere to be found
The darker clouds tumbles in
Seen within, oh
There is no time for these games
I know you are angry with me
Just get back home safe

Yes, I have done wrong
It’s not just my fault
Am I to be blamed
That you might be long gone?
In this moment, feeling anguish
Where are you now?

Don’t
Don’t turn away from me
This isn’t the time to give up on us
Please, show me now
You’re still with me
And don’t say goodbye
Don’t leave me alone here
I won’t sleep tonight until you get back
What, if something happens to you
Am I supposed to do?

Shedding tears like nothing else
This must be a dream of mine
No, this can’t be real, oh
I let my fury control
My mind overrides in rage
I can’t switch the page

I can’t believe it
Though I have seen it
Knowing my faults gives
A darker meaning
No, if it wasn’t for the fighting
You’d be alive

Don’t
Don’t turn away from me
Don’t walk to the light
Show me mercy
Please, show me now
You’re still with me
And don’t say goodbye
Don’t dare to give up now
Don’t walk to the light
Show me signs of life
Then suddenly
Heart stopped beating
She left me behind

I won’t go on
Not without you
How can I let go
Of the one I love?
