Emerson Lake & Palmer - Trilogy 1972

　
　ＥＬＰの曲のなかでもグレッグ・レイクの存在感を感じさせる名曲。メランコリックな冒頭の曲想はエマーソンの怒涛の世界へと突入していき、タイトル通り、第三のテーマを経て終焉を迎える。

I've tried to mend the love that ended long ago although we still pretend
Our love is surely coming to an end
Don't waste the time you've got to love again

We tried to lie but you and I know better than to let each other lie
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
Counting up the time that's passed us by

I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
And if it does I hope that you will understand that I must leave
in a while And though I smile
You know the smile is only there to hide
What I'm really feeling deep inside
Just a face where I can hang my pride

Goodbye... Goodbye...

We'll talk of places that we went and times
that we have spent together penniless and free

You'll see the day another way and they could put the sunshine
for a nighttime where you lay

You'll love again I don't know when
But if you do I know that you'll be happy in the end
