Sweet Sorrow
There comes a moment in time
When it's too late to turn back –
You hear the thirteenth clock chime
As your world fades into black . . .
A sad voice carries its song
In one last final farewell
The words float gently along
As they of your troubles tell . . .
A parting sadness so sweet –
It's such a pain to let go
Knowing that you'll never meet
The one whose voice haunts you so . . .
A teardrop suddenly falls
As you're about to look back
"Return, return!" your heart calls
Of your tears now loosing track . . .
You catch a glimpse of your dream
Before its gone with the dawn
Your eyes, though damp, once more gleam
As yet again you are drawn
Into the crystalline deep
Of your own fantasy maze
But it's too late . . . and you weep
As that voice comes through the haze
It too is lost once you're gone,
So slowly, sadly it wanes . . .
You know its time to go on
And yet, the echo remains...
