3. Which song contains these lyrics? 'I had nine lives but I lost all of them'

Answer: The Lost Song

'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.'
