thunder holds the thought
of midnight in your room
heartbeats echo loudly
ensconced inside this tomb
where love
has gone to die

whispered voices speak
as if somebody cares
yet words of love and tenderness
keep falling on deaf ears
no thought was ever given
to the how or why
lightning no longer flashes
where love
has gone to die

winds of suffocation
roar above my head
as pelting rains of anger
drown us in this bed

no one stops to think
what this is all about
the fire of love and lust
has suddenly gone out

you lie silently beside me
I hear your mournful sigh
we never thought
that we’d end up
where love
has gone to die

ten days past
the hour
when things began
to fail
I set off on a cosmic wind
and thus began to sail

past the barren trees
heading slowly West
a heavy heart beat loudly
deep within my chest

to the fates my lot is cast
to the winds where ‘ere they blow
what became of my tender love
I will never know

for she walks a lonely trail
where I do not belong
she, no longer here
to help me sing my song

ten days past
the hour
when things began
to fail
I set off on a cosmic wind
and thus began to sail

in your arms
I did awake
there to atone
for my mistake

time has passed
time has passed
night begets the day
time has passed
time has passed
love slowly fades away

into your eyes
I did fall
there not to hear
tomorrow’s call

time has passed
time has passed
night begets the day
time has passed
time has passed
love slowly fades away

I close my heart
so to pretend
I have nothing
to defend

time has passed
time has passed
night begets the day
time has passed
time has passed
love slowly fades away

I cannot go
I cannot stay
time has passed
time has passed
love slowly fades away
