heart like a grave

Sound of the waves
Song of the woeful wind
Beauty of yearning, the tune of my heart
For once there was a time
When I sat by your side
And right before our eyes the world was open wide

(Days of youth)
Are long since gone
(Never return)
To return again
But a long slow desert left anymore
The waning years of
Heartache and regret

And yet the winds sing
They sing the fairest tune
I hear the waves sigh
They sigh out from pain

And since you set out
To reach for your hopes and dreams
I'll stay here helpless and in sight
For these wounded wings
I never left this barren soil
Where all my wishes slowly fade away

(Days of youth)
Are long since gone
(Never return)
To return again
But a long slow desert left any more
The waning years of
Heartache and regret

Do you still remember
Would you still believe
That this blackened soul of mine
Was once untarnished

Years of disappointment
And disillusion
All I see in the mirror now
Is an old man with heart like a grave
Do you still remember
Would you still believe
That this blackened soul of mine
Was once untarnished
