Lyric

"I want your touch," I softly long

A lonely whisper in a song

The empty hours just pass me by

Beneath the heavy autumn sky

"I love you so," I want to say

To bring you back into the day

But gentle eyes I used to know

Just walk away and let me go

The ordinary days we shared together

I thought they would remain forever

But now they feel so far away

Beyond the reach of night and day

I lock the memories in my chest

And in this present, I will rest

"I feel so lonely," I would cry

With heavy tears inside my eye

The peaceful joy we used to make

Is now a ghost I cannot wake

"It hurts too much," I used to ask

Behind a brave and fading mask

The happy times that flew so fast

I want them back, to make them last

The warmth we gave to one another

The bright tomorrows we'd discover

Are starting now to fade and blur

Like winter winds that softly stir

I sink our modest years in time

And keep on walking in my prime

The ordinary days we shared together

I thought they would remain forever

But now they feel so far away

Beyond the reach of night and day

I lock the memories in my chest

And in this present, I will rest

Yes, in this present, I will rest
