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
