Life rails

Looking up the stars twinkling in the sky
I wonder what makes time fly
Though a thousand excuses let me stay
I know your heart has been carried away.

How long will it be since tears been dried.
How soon will it be when ash appeared.
How icy will it be since no flame conflagated
How silent will it be when a heart lost its sound.

Let the rails of life take me away
I must go the other way
Though my heart would surely stay
We are doomed to depart in such a way.

Let the rails of life bring me home
to the place I come from with a smile
Though I know I am still deep in love
We are destined to brush pass each other this life
