Where Are You
Where are you now when I am here and lone
The fire has broken and the light is dim
Where is your face when I am but a stone
I saw your nose when it almost bone
I was used to pain and your cold skin
Where are you now when I am here and lone
I loved you in the kindly light of dawn
I loved you in the sun that dwells within
Where is your face when I am but a stone?
Where is the tender love that we have grown?
Where is the golden cup with sacred rim?
Where are you now when I am here and lone?
Pitiful the anguish and the pain
As was your skeleton where flesh was thin
Where is your dear face when I am a stone?
Where is your blue eyed look, your laugh, your grin
Shall I kneel and pray that good shall win?
Where are you now when I am here and lone
Where is your living face when I am stone?
