hopes are gone

hearts are broken

songs unsung

 

Tears are falling

for things not done

the energy of youth

the greatest pun

 

My steps lack spring

my eyes look glazed

I walk through life

looking dazed

 

The pain of your departure

has taken over me

my eyes can cry no more

they can barely see

 

The pain has caused

my body to go numb

I feel like drowning

my sorrows in rum

 

You're supposed to return

since you've gone away

It's been so long

my thoughts do stray

 

I've been faithful

you have my heart

and when you come home

our love will restart
