Long and Lonely Days

Long and lonely days
     lost by hope in quiet song
     from sounds this wishful heart has pawned
     lay broken neath my endless thoughts of you

     Nights in sleepless dreams 
     giving way to sunless dawns
     casting spells that right these wrongs
     fade in shadows chasing love I thought I knew

     O how I hoped you'd know
     how much I really loved you so 
     and how my heart could never let you go
     be my life and dry these tears
     hear only silence from my fears

     Long and lonely days
     made in memories laid bare
     by hopes of what we might've shared
     from promises left by your sweet caress

     Times I can't forget
     lost in moments gone before
     like sand that's cast on distant shores
     from tides that's swept with waves of changing fate

     O how I hoped you'd know
     how much I really loved you so
     and how my heart could never let you go
     be my life and dry these tears
     be my love and hold me near
