===============

I'm trying hard to let it go.
I hate to see the past depart,
to know that time has run so low,
when we were happy, heart to heart.
The echo of those days is thin,
it's fading fast beneath my skin.

Despite the things we wanted then,
so much was left behind that line.
The dreams where I felt safe back then
now only leave a restless sign.
And memory cuts me like a knife —
the past won't come back to this life.

Last night your ghost was standing there again,
waking up the hopes I thought were dead.
The silence whispered with your voice, and then
it felt like that old summer in my head.
I reach my hands out, begging for a sign,
but you just fade as morning starts to shine.

There is a world where you're still here.
I whisper "Darling" in your ear.
The winter never kills the light,
and someone guards me through the night.
The stars fall right into my hand,
the fire burns across that land.

But now the days are cold and grey.
I'm freezing up, deep down inside.
It's not the spring, it's not the way
our love once felt before it died.
The emptiness is back to stay,
I can't hold you, you're far away.

So, take away the tears I used to cry,
and scatter all this grief along the road.
Why did the garden have to fade and die...
Why are you at some stranger's front door step...
If only you'd return, I'm waiting still,
I love you, and I know I always will.
