IN THIS SAD OLD LON

QUOTE:
IN THIS SAD OLD LONESOME NIGHT
In this sad old lonesome night
While in vain I search inside
And try to find with all my might
That little part of me that�s died
I can only see your face
And your disappointed eyes
And the pain that takes its place
In this cold bed of my lies
I long to push my life�s clock back
To times we had before
Before I wandered off the track
And discovered less instead of more
And yet the only thing I find
In the darkness of my soul
Is the love I left behind
And a heart no longer whole
And the emptiness I feel
I know is just the cost
Of ignoring what is real
And what can easily be lost
If you can find it to forgive
And repair your battered heart
We can once more try to live
And go forward from this start
Though it�s a long long way to fall
When the chasm lies within
Though each step back�s hard and small
When you�re ready, I�ll begin
