The Drain

Steam can't hide tear drops The sound of water, sobs They're back again, thoughts once forgotten Of a Lover lost It was on a summer night, we met Now Winter's chill reminds No wedding ring, No vows were made Only Love, the tie that binds And when I'm in The dark place now The memories do flow As if He tries to ease the pain But, like a thorny vine, it grows And so, I shut the water down , and try to refrain From thinking thoughts of things that Died And Live the Life I've made With my thoughts, my sullen mood Drips slowly down the drain I dry myself, Anew once more Until we meet again
