Drops in the Lake

I get by,but I'm tired of myself,and I doubt that I ever will find someone else

Lonely days fall like drops in the lake of our love

I just want it to be like it was

And I want you to be as you were long ago

I go down to the edge of the lake where I wait through the night for the dawn light to break

Memories of yore crash like waves on the shore of my mind

And I pray that the stars will align

I just want us to be who we were long ago

I just want what was

How I yearn for the years we were young and in love

I get by,but it's hard to forget in the smoke of denial and the fog of regret

Dismal and darksome like clouds in the sky of my soul

And I hear thunder roll

I look up at the uncaring sky with a prayer on my lips and a tear in my eye

Oh,how the heart burns like fire in the light of the moon

I just hope you'll be comin' back soon

You're my long-lost love

Can we wind back the wheels to the way that it was?
