"Moments" lyrics

How could so many people be living just for this?
Moments of redemption, momentary bliss...
And what with so many people
Living for the day?
Treetops give the answers
Swallows show the way

It's so strange
The things we wish for
The things we thought
We couldn't do without...
It's so sad
The things we dreamed of
The things we thought
We couldn't live without...

How could so many memories
Comfort you at dawn
Bring you back to days of happiness?
And what do we do with moments
Once they've been and gone
Do they wait in churchyards
Til we pass?

It's so strange
The things we wish for
The things we thought
We couldn't do without
It's so sad
The love we dreamed of
The love we thought
We couldn't live without...
