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 Not long since gone Never return To return again But a long slow desert left anymore The waning years of Heartache and regrets And yet the wind 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 Not long since gone Never return To return again But a long slow desert left anymore The waning years of Heartache and regrets 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?
