Your love is but a distant star
Thousands and thousands miles afar
Where all your splendid glories are
Away from any hurt or scar
…
Away from any hurt or scar
Where all your splendid glories are
Thousands and thousands miles afar
Your love is but a distant star
I am lonely. I am broken
With every lie that there is spoken
Now my life is full of lies
Let hope rain now from the skies
…
Every mistake I’ve ever made
Every friend that I’ve betrayed
Have come to haunt in guise
Let hope rain now from the skies
…
I am hurting. I am bleeding
Every step of mine’s misleading
Every night my old heart cries
Let hope rain now from the skies
…
The road to freedom seems so long
Every choice I make is wrong
Getting closer to my demise
Let hope rain now from the skies
…
I am scarred and I am burning
Every pain I’ve known is returning
Is it time to say goodbyes?
Let hope rain now from the skies
Do you remember the time
When you used to sing to me?
How every word pierced my soul?
How every note pulled the strings of my heart?
How your melody lingered on for ever?
Do you remember the time
When I would close my eyes
And drown in your soulful voice?
The days would pass by in humming
The nights would feel so short
Do you remember the time
When you transported me to another land?
Somewhere between space and heaven
Merely with your graceful tone
Do you remember the time
When you made me feel my heart-beats?
How you made my heart sing with you
When we had a loving duet?
Do you remember the time
When you used to sing to me?
You came in like a thunderstorm
You left like a gentle breeze
The void you created in my heart
Can now be never filled
Send my voice to her
Carry love with it
As the clock goes past four
Say I miss her still
And I always will
Like our glory days of yore
…
Now the wounds don’t heal
Now the thoughts don’t mend
The clouds refuse to outpour
Many things have changed
Nothing’s ever same
As our glory days of yore
…
Every night I cry
With her face in my
Broken mind; I implore —
Will I catch some sleep
If I cease to weep
For our glory days of yore?
…
Fate just took my heart
Far away from me
Across the ocean and shore
Arduous to cope
As I lie in hope
Of our glory days of yore
…
Someday I will be
With all my love in me
With every thing you adore
Then the clouds will rain
As we dwell again
In our glory days of yore
I must admit that I was warned
I never thought love would leave me scorned
I only feel I’m getting closer
The more I try to run away from her
My innocent heart
And soul’s torn apart
Every way points right back to the start
…
When I try to love you
All my hopes come tumbling down
When I want to see you
I scream your name all over town
I get hurt
There’s nothing but
I want to place above you
Every night
I have to fight
When I try to love you
When I try to love you
…
I tell myself it’s just another morn’
Just another time to feel so forlorn
No distraction is working at all
The more that I fly, the deeper I fall
My innocent soul
Is hard to console
How much longer would I keep digging this hole?
…
When I try to love you
All my thoughts come crashing down
When I want to see you
I shout your name all over town
I get hurt
There’s nothing but
I want to place above you
Every day
You make me pay
When I try to love you
When I try to love you
…
I really have to make myself understand
This is going nowhere. This has to end
Love is no good. It’s no good to pretend
…
When I try to love you
All my dreams come crumbling down
When I want to see you
My eyes seek you all over town
I get hurt
There’s nothing but
I want to place above you
Every night
I have to fight
When I try to love you
When I try to love you
We’re pushed into a war
We don’t know what it’s for
I just don’t want to fight
I know you feel the same
‘Bout this stupid game
It just doesn’t feel all right
Is this what we have to go through?
Is there nothing else to do?
Well you take my sword
Come and rip my heart
End this once and then
We’ll have a new start
…
Always, all along
It just feels so wrong
Is there no other way?
Every battle’s played
Every mistake’s made
Every night and day
Is this what we have to go through?
Is there nothing here to do?
Well you take my sword
Come and rip my heart
End this once and then
We’ll have a new start
…
Every thing we had may be lost
But I guess it is the cost
That we have to
We have to, we have to pay
Is this what we have to go through?
Is there nothing else to do?
Well you take my sword
Come and rip my heart
End this once and then
We’ll have a new start
Please accept my application
For a job inside your heart
Your heart’s been suffering losses
It has had too many bosses
You need someone to hold it together
I could be that employee
I will work hard and with dedication
I will work day and night
I will never let you down
Never give you a reason to complain
I’ll help you take tough decisions
I’ll steer you in the correct direction
But I do not come cheap
You would have to pay me handsomely
In the currency of love
Love, love and loads of love
What should I call this love, girl?
Innocent or pure?
Should I call it heavenly?
I am quite unsure
Should I term it honest?
Should I term it true?
Should I call it unknown?
Oh just tell me what to do
Should I name it profound?
Should I name it free?
Are there more adjectives
That haven’t come to me?
Do I really need to name it?
Does it matter still?
Whatever our love may be
I know, girl, how it feels
Though I can’t describe it
I know just how it feels
It’s a pretty good night
To turn off the lights
And spend some time dreaming alone
Who wouldn’t admire
This burning desire
To explore all that is unknown?
…
O’ you beautiful dame
You call out my name
Sending me all the intricate signs
My desires are burned
My heart — it is turned
When music and love combines
…
Time is standing still
Her hand guiding my will
Tying me to your charming chain
The night begins to sink
The stars start to blink
Loneliness then loses again
