Disclaimer: Erik is not mine. However, the poem is. So is the music. Too bad you can't hear the music. It's in my head.
In the Silence Falling
I stand outside in the pouring rain
I wish the water could help numb the pain
It's times like these I just can't comprehend
Why my heart keeps refusing to mend
And in the silence falling
I can hear you calling
You make my troubles melt away
I only wish that you could stay
Your voice surrounds me in the dawning night
And in this darkness there's no need for sight
My senses sharpen; I can feel so much!
My heart beats faster at your lightest touch
Your sweet intoxication
Stirs my imagination
My love, you make me strive
Just to simply stay alive
But when the sun begins to rise
You abruptly break all ties
I'm left shaking on the ground
Pitifully searching for your sound
Then through the day, I play my part
I ignore my breaking heart
There's nothing left for me to do
I must simply wait for you
And in the silence falling
I can hear you calling
You make my troubles melt away
I only wish that you could stay
Your voice surrounds me in the dawning night
And in this darkness there's no need for sight
My senses sharpen; I can feel so much!
My heart beats faster at your lightest touch
Your sweet intoxication
Stirs my imagination
My love, you make me strive
Just to simply stay alive
A rose's petals die and fall
So I am dying in your thrall
My weakly heart does not protest
Though it knows I'll have no rest
I am yours but you're not mine
When will I finally cross the line?
How can no one understands
That my soul is in your hands?
And in the silence falling
I can hear you calling
You make my troubles melt away
I only wish that you could stay
Your voice surrounds me in the dawning night
And in this darkness there's no need for sight
My senses sharpen; I can feel so much!
My heart beats faster at your lightest touch
Your sweet intoxication
Stirs my imagination
My love, you make me strive
Just to simply stay alive
Oh, just to stay alive
I've given you my tender heart
So now I wait till I fall apart
