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.
