Once I prayed for just a glimmer
Thought the warmth would last forever
Now the deep love starts to shiver
Left with silence as my lover
Promises drift in the hollow
True heart broken by the sorrow
Looking round with nowhere to go
Secrets only I will know
All my yearnings now have turned to shadows
Endless lonely nights have bound me so close
In this world of mine so cold and grey
Gone is light that led the way
Deepest feelings no one's here to stay
Only tears will wash away
In this world of mine so cold and grey
Heavy heart with much to say
Longest nights I fight them on my own
Who can feel the pain I've known
People coming people going
No one cares or keeps me in their heart
Through the quiet hours flowing
Loneliness won't fall apart
No more longing for a healer
No more waiting for a pleader
Memories pile up like a fever
Nowhere for the soul to linger
All my yearnings now have turned to shadows
Endless lonely nights have bound me so close
