Oh lonely heart the pain so great
each breath a torment feels
Oh crushing grip of loneliness
from wound and grief is born
Oh demons circling ever close
their cold embrace I fear
Oh painful tears from deep within
my hurt they do not ease
Alas release thy salving words
from hand to paper flow
To dull the hurt of ailing heart
and calm the burdened soul.
Alone as now I play my best
forever and a day
to stumble through the dance of life
with barren heart a fray.
