I hear your parting wordsThey flutter along the whistling winds
Echoing in the night about
Things left untold in the dark
A future that cannot be
A life I cannot live
A dream that will never come true
And one I cannot be with
You tell me it's for the best
That this way I won't feel more pain
But pain finds its way to the heart
And strikes you down where it is most vulnerable
The time I had with you is now a memory
One that I had been holding onto for a long time
I don't want to let go, but you insist I must
For it won't happen ever again.
But, for a moment, as I wandered through the cold night
I saw but a glimmer
a fleeting moment
And I felt your warmth
I held it close and I held you tighter
But when I opened my eyes, there was nothing there.
You were already long gone
With your fire in another forest.
I felt something that wasn't there.
The fire between us has long be put out
But I'm sitting here in the smoldering ashes
Wondering if I'll ever feel your warmth again
Echoing in the night about

But pain finds its way to the heart
And strikes you down where it is most vulnerable
