I woke from a nightmare, cold sweats in my bed.
Empty, alone- no tears left unshed.
I clutched to her pillow, I cried by her frame.
Did she know that I loved her, that I cry out her name?
I did my best, but I swore I’d do better.
Did I let her down, did she fall through the cracks?
If I call to her now, would she ever come back?
I’m haunted by ghosts that never were there.
A creak down the hallway, I’d stop and I’d stare.
Was it her, my love is gone in thin air.
Praying to god that I’d see her once more.
I swore that I saw her, that woman I adore
But she faded from view, was it all in my head?
She whispered in silence, she whispered in pain-
Because you know that I’m gone, you know that I’m dead.
Yet she felt real to me then, she feels real to me now.
I cry into my hands, I scream and I shout-
Good lord won’t you take me instead.
She said let me go but still I refused.
Alone in my house, she’s already dead.
A widow alone within windows of a broken home.
While begging for death she clang to the knife.
But now that she’s gone, I wish it would end.
You’ve taken my wife, you’ve stolen my life.
I’m haunted by the smell of her hair.
A creak down the hallway, I’d stop and I’d stare.
Was it her, my love is gone in thin air.
Praying to god that I’d see her once more.
I swore that I saw her, that woman I adore
But she faded from view, was it all in my head?
She whispered in silence, she whispered in pain-
You know that I’m gone, you know that I’m dead.
Yet she felt real to me then, she feels real to me now.
I pray for the gods to listen to me
Give her back I’d beg and I’d plea,
I’ll give you my heart, I’ll give you my soul
Because without her I’m empty
A pot without soil, I toil in vain
Like Dante I’d follow you into the flames
Braving his flames and facing my sins in these circles of hell
my love was never the devil’s to sell
I’d go to his home and pound on his door.
Begging a king to give back what he stole.
I won’t be denied I won’t die in vain
Because I know we’ll see each other again.
I loved you in life, I need you in death.
You’re gone like the wind, you’ve stolen my breath.
