Dissolving In The Dawning
Another day dawns
A silent wave of crimson and gold
Breaking across the night
Yet in my heart
As the heavens paint the earth
The darkness lingers
You are so far away love
And each time my heart seeks yours
Returning alone
The grief deepens
Tears trace a path
From the liquid pools of my eyes
Which only long to see your sweet face
And I am dissolving
In the dawning
Like a candle
That is burning itself away
