Loneliness

It's dawn again, here comes the light
to end another sleepless night
and make me realise it's true
I look around, and there's no you.

It's time to get up out of bed
the body moves but my heart is dead
I look around, the house is bare
and all because you're not there.

I go to work and drive all day
eyes on the road, my mind astray
remembering the love we had,
it really is so very sad.

I come back home again at night
to live again in constant fright,
and look out of my window pane
and pray that you'll come home again.
