Canyons Cold and Dark
She dwells in deep canyons cold and dark
To ponder a mystery that haunts her soul
Which leaves confusion and doubts in heart
The loss of confidence now takes its toll
To ponder a mystery that haunts her soul
Which renders sleepless hours through the night
The loss of confidence now takes its toll
A flower slowly dying withers in sunlight
It renders sleepless hours through the night
The days are lengthened, and she wastes away
A flower slowly dying withers in sunlight
Her sweet fragrance lost, forever and a day
The days are lengthened, and she wastes away
What could be this wrong which she has caused?
Her sweet fragrance lost, forever and a day
To fully grasp this puzzle she requires pause
What could be this wrong which she has caused?
What pain has she laid upon your heart?
To fully grasp this puzzle she requires pause
She dwells in deep canyons cold and dark
