Solace

The cold dark clouds have given way
The sky again is blue.
My heart it does now beat again
And this because of you.

A warmth that's felt from passions fire
Much hotter than the sun
Has burned away those painful days
Sweet nepenthe's been won. 

But though my sorrow's been displaced
The scars they still remain.
Will ever come that faithful day
When I can love again?

When I can give my heart away
And without fear or dread
Be lead by feeling not by thought
By heart and not by head.
