Broken triads ring out
Into the quiet night,
Soft words fall deaf
dry tears fight
Vacant emotions!
Nothing is risked
So nothing is lost
In silent scuffles!
But oooh! The cost
Oh god! The cost.
Girl I can see
The light in your eyes
That pierces the dark
And my fragile guise
If only you knew
Smile again baby
‘cause soon it’ll be dawning
I’ll hold your hand
‘Till the dark is gone
forever more.
