"All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen."<br /> - Ralph Waldo Emerson


Verse:

Heartbroken

My heart was broken

Wanted, needed

Hold me softly


Afraid

I was afraid

But nothing somehow

Stay beside me


Forgotten

Long forgotten

Lost, and then, and then

And then

Chorus:


Alone

I’m left alone

Trying to find my way in the darkness

I thought it would last forever

But now it’s gone

Gone

And nothing’s left

But infinity

 

Verse 2:


Trying

Always trying

Aching, longing

I believe


But nothing

No on ever

Singing, dancing

Please don’t leave me


Falling

I fell so far

Once upon a time

You loved me

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:


And if you hear me crying

To the moon

You know the dearth is

Coming soon

Close your eyes

Bow your head

The stars are shining for the dead

Requiem

Of the deep

Final breath, fall fast asleep 

 

Outro:


A promise

Is a promise

Was a promise

Is a lie

Only darkness

Hid by shadow

Falling snow 

Across the sky
