Why
Killing me the time apart
Trampled is this fragile heart
Lonliness the food of fools
Who wrote those damn golden lovers rules?
Deslolate the place I live
So many dreams I can not give
Strength fails me not I will always try
At least I know the place where I will die
Upon the fields of broken hearts
The killing fields where hopes all start
Cry a river, from me a sea
The storm of such a travesty
Catch the kiss I blow through the years
My last request in black dressed fear
Unto the lips that touched gently mine
The taste of you sweeter than expensive wine
If I could make one last request
Come home to love, deny the rest
Why I ask do lovers fight?
Why the lonely empty nights?
Why the silence in the dark?
Why do I have a broken heart?
Bitterness the stumbling block
That keeps the distance to love I lost
