How lonely it is without you
I have not forgotten my love
for here in your shadow
the flames are still flickering
in the depths of my soul
I am lingering in my dreams
where the wind tangles my hair
and your hand is in mine
memories colour my days
from awakening alone
in the aching dawn
until again I am shrouded with you
in the welcome softness of night
