I woke up this morning and lit a candle for you my love

The little flame flickering and struggling to stay alight

Wanting to go out ...flickering weakly, 

The little flame just like me...

 

I opened the blinds and I see it is overcast and raining

So symbolic of my life without you

It rains in my heart every day

And when my heart is full, the rivers flow from my eyes

My heart unable to contain the deluge of grief

 

You see the sun no longer shines for me since you left

The light of my life is hidden from me.

The veil of grey now separates us

And I must wait for it to be lifted

I must wait for the day the clouds will part for me too

And I will walk in the sunshine again with you.
