When first you spoke to me, it was a breath of fresh air
Entering my world for the first time
In an age

And we began to dance around each other, then and there,
To sing and share and rhyme,
To turn a new page

And we held each other from a distance
As we beheld our own reflections
With no conditions on the feelings,
No concerns for imperfections

But I wavered in my confidence
And there was where I fell
So I mustered up my strength again,
But it didn't go so well...

Adieu, L'Aurora,
I can not stay here more
Though we could do each other a world of good
I'm afraid you need much more
Farewell, my soul's partner,
My love, my life, my friend,
I can only hope you'll find your way
And I, mine, to each our own ends...

I wanted to believe that I could be strong
Strong enough to be with you
For a while

Yet everything inside is telling me I'm wrong
That I won't withstand you
Not this life

I have too much to learn from existence
Too much strength has gone
I'm just amazed, left reeling,
Wondering how to carry on

And I'm too much of a romantic
Someone who might hold on too tight
And Goddess forbid I should need you,
And keep you from your flight.

Adieu, L'Aurora,
As much as we could have had
Were we to stay with each other
We'd likely both go mad
Farewell, farewell, just the same,
I wonder, shall I ever regret
My falling hopelessly in love with
The best lover I've never met...

Adieu, L'Aurora,
You've found your place at last
Found yourself a friendly face
Come visiting from your past
Fare thee well, my sweet one
May the Lady keep you well
As I am condemned to wander
On this path that leads me on
And rends my heart asunder
In this world that leads me on
And someday, dare I wonder
Will I ever have my calm
