Elegy

The last words of a man who has lost his lover.

We come to our last few empty nights

Without a future in our sights

Smiles, hands and hearts are cold

Remembering the days of old

When men fought monsters, proud and strong

Not fellow man, like has begun

An end, not quite as bad it seems

As what we thought within our dreams

Or nightmares torturing our minds

The truth is there for me to find

I do believe we all go on

To reach that somewhere far beyond

A man whose view is all brand new

In good or bad I shall pull through

Such a shame how much I’ve missed

Those sweet and tender rosy lips

And never did I learn of lies

Behind those pretty, shining eyes

Even my heart calls out her name

Oh sweetest lass, cries out in vain

A beauty from the heavens above

She was the one who showed me love

The time has come to end my pain

And see my darling once again

We come to our last few empty nights

Without a future in our sights

Smiles, hands and hearts are cold

Remembering the days of old
