I had nine lives but I lost all of them
And I've been searching in the night
And I've been searching in the rain

I tried to find them
But they disappeared
They walked away they dressed in black

They left my side and all I say
Is that I wasted time
When I looked for them

For now I know that things gone past
Are never to be found again
No never never again

I had nine lives
But lost all of them


I had a plan
But never finished it
And I've been searching for the thought

And I've been searching in a haze
I try all days
To remember it

But now the blueprint in my mind has gone
My mind forgot the colour of direction
And my eyes they see the hands

That could have built
That could have constructed
The empire in my mind

The empire
I'll never find
I had a plan

But that was where it ended
