Wandering among the shades of night My friends at peace but still in sight Hear their muted laughter in dusted dew The only youth we ever knew A restless sea the source to know How often vainly sought in things below The crown of pride that killed each mortal brow Oh heavens and earth they're falling now Oh let me shut my eyes close out Oh Lord vanish the angering doubt Through the raging tears in my heart declare And these stormy clouds they are everywhere Let me cry out loud... The evening flies on ruptured wings The hours of delight that once they bring In agony so far away For every past as well as future day In fragrant fear of deep regret How do I strain and shall forget And clouded scenes with treacherous skies My maddening brain has reached the lies Yet still the static leaks of an untuned radio Nobody hears me now I am ceased where can I go Storm lifted waves shift rushing to the open shore Back through the darkest cave you can hear the thunders roar Can't find it now Just show me how I wonder why Just let me die.
