broken

as the shadow of our love grows long
the tune dies slowly at the end of our song
legs become weak as I walk toward the ledge
heart grows cold as ice forms 'round the edge
hope melts away like a late april snow
leaves turn brown as a winter wind blows
pain that I feel like my heart in a vice
my soul shivers as though locked in ice
legs kicking wildly at the end of my rope
sorrow I feel steals the last of my hope
days of my love have brought such sorrow and pain
I'm cold and I'm damp in your wind driven rain
in the window is a candle that burns for my love
in my heart there's an ember that's lit from above
please hear my plea as I lie here and die
let this be forever, one last goodbye
