In the dead of the night
I am going back in time
Going back
To the days we left behind.
And I’ll never hear your voice again
Whispering in my ear in the morning
Your fingers sweeping away all the shadows in me
Your longing for my loving
Light glows in our bed
Our intricate warmth lighting the day ahead
I can even hear you say
You love me
Again and again
While you lose yourself to me
And I find myself in you.
Looking back into the past I see
You were never meant for me.
Now, my pillow may be wet with tears
But I know somewhere,
An ocean away,
In this cold summer night,
Lies a waking man
Who has lost his morning light.
