A Doomed Lover

Lyrics

Your unbreathing, unbreathing sleep Our dreamless bed Is mine to keep In my eyes and frozen arms Nothing lives 'cept my harm Now you're worn, worn with years Years and sorrows Like saints with arrows Once again, I see a man I watch him die with a humble sigh Calm this tide, tide of sorrow He leads me away and I follow Sighs and then slumbers Wakes and sighs again Opens up the eyes Sees the ghost again Our dying love, it prays in vain to live And pleads for help, I simply cannot give "My devoted love takes tiny backward Steps away Loneliness aplenty spread before me My devoted love takes tiny backward Steps away Loneliness aplenty spread before me"
