host of the quiet and suitor of love
serenity peace with the wings of a dove
only the waters could take you away
and given me agony on this cold day
fooled by the memories of something unreal
bent to my knees in a penitent kneel
frightened away by the ghost of the past
fighting the tears back you know will not last

why do we worry why do we care
where is the comfort it just isn't fair
why do we let things happen this way
why is it that you are taken away
you were unfaithful up to your last
i was forgetful of our smiling past
both unforgivable both bound for hell
justification too distant to tell

i'm crying to join you at any cost
i'm striving to find you but i am so lost
peace is evasive misleading untrue
clutching the past is the only thing to do
forgetting is dying and losing is life
your words hit my heart like a poison-dipped knife
i struggle to hold on to the life i still clasp
but with you far away there's not much to grasp

my heart has been nailed to a tree with a stave
as i watch you slip deep down into your grave
the floods that claimed my essence my soul
the tears that for you freely now flow
unwilling persistent i wish for you now
i just can't continue, i just don't know how
memories unwilling cloud up my mind
and i remember it's you i must find
