Another Night Alone
Myself seems to be all that I have and alI that I will
Words on paper can only express the way I feel
I watched her come in my life and then she quietly left
With her departure went a big piece of myself
Now i'm torn and never to be mended
It's like instead of angels, demons descended
All my eyes see is darkness, light has yet to reach me
Let me leave this dreadful world I call home peacefully
To the gates of after life where tears are no more
I'm a lonely sea creature yearnin' to wash upon love's shore
Not so long ago was I overwhelmed with joyful feelings
Now tears roll down my cheeks as I quietly stare at the ceiling
Not just one night but maybe even eternity I may spend alone
So I stand as a man beggin' you to come back home
