You came like a rose from the barren earth A flower as sweet as perfume Like the sun in the morning Sets fire to the dawn's gloomy haze No more cold frozen winter nights Just years of sweet autumn days So in silence, here I'll lie Letting the year long days go by In my darkened mind, I'll dwell Rather than face this living hell No more soothing breeze All our poetry is lost Like your face in the darkness Of yesterday ♪ ♪ But soon as the light woke my dying hope I saw the sun sinking low I knew this new day could never last I prayed it would not fade so soon Night swiftly fell on my troubled heart Night with no silvery moon So in silence, here I'll lie Letting the year long days go by In my darkened mind, I'll dwell Rather than face this living hell No more soothing breeze All our poetry is lost Like your face in the darkness Of yesterday ♪ So in silence, here I'll lie Letting the year long days go by In my darkened mind, I'll dwell Rather than face this living hell No more soothing breeze All our poetry is lost Like your face in the darkness Of yesterday Of yesterday
