Hope And Longing
I wake up and I'm alone
in the shadows of our home,
I heard you call my name,
and I realise that time has past
that nothing good can last,
we're stars adrift in lakes of never.
Nothing lasts forever but hope and longing.
Memories will melt away.
Love is but a butterfly on fire to light the way.
Tears of joy and sadness come and go.
Youth is fire as fleeting as the dawn
Singing as a bird-song in the morn.
Every day is precious
Don't wish one hour away
Nothing lasts forever but hope
and longing for a better day.
I look up to see the moon
kissing outlines of the room
the way we used to kiss,
and I write these words to draw you near
in hope that you might hear.
We're dealt a hand by fate to play.
Nothing lasts forever but hope, and longing.
Friends and family fall away.
Happiness and sadness fall like blossom in the sun.
No achievement can forever stay.
Health is fire as fleeting as the dawn
Singing as a bird-song in the morn.
Every day is precious
Don't wish one hour away
Nothing lasts forever but hope
and longing for a better day.
