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

Are long since gone

Never return

To return again

But a long slow desert left any more

The waning years of

Heartache and regret

And yet the winds 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

Are long since gone

Never return

To return again

But a long slow desert left any more

The waning years of

Heartache and regret

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
