A Sad Song

Getting through the night 
with a song,
A sad song 
Perhaps the words are unknown to you. 
But tonight 
That song is desired by my tearful heart,
While my eyes are waiting for a touch of morning dew.

Tonight
 my voice cannot reach your heart 
Nor 
I'm able to fall asleep 
To take you to a dream.
Getting through the night
with a song,
A sad song that speaks to me,
While no one can hear my heart's scream.

Getting through the night
With a song,
A sad song 
like the sorrow of a leaf in the fall.
Getting through the night 
With a song,
A sad song 
For a night in solitude after all.
