Sorrow

Silent is the earth, black is the sky

Heavy is my heart, my tears are dry
This is my fate, I’ll have to live
Never to receive, always to give

The memory of you grew cold
I feel so very tired, so very cold
All has perished, everything has gone
I’ll have to manage and live on
But how can I exist with none to care
Whether I live, or with God be up there
Tell me how quickly you can change
You have grown so cold it seems strange

Time will teach me to forgive you

Leaving my nights lonely and blue

Your face will always guide me

It will clear my path, help me to see

For you have always been my life

You have always helped me strife

And though you are gone,
you’ll be near

To wipe a tear clear a fear …
