Lyrics

This long, lonely road shall be the last these feet will take
One foot in front of the other
Trudging through life just to suffer
They say it gets easier but I beg to differ
Beyond helping
Beyond hoping
Can you hear them whispering?
The sad songbirds in these gnarled old trees?
They call to me, enticingly, salty tears fall like autumn leaves
What's the point of a fresh start when you want it to end?
To begin anew again now without you?
If there is a God he plunged his knife in with a twist
For death did part out sacred tryst
Oh what I would give now to see your face
But this is just wishful thinking and fantasy
There's naught but the rope that now waits for me
Seven wraps for seven years above that longing noose
One foot in front of the other, yet something has stayed my stool
Can I hear you whispering?
That sweet lullaby you used to sing for me
You call to me, enticingly, hopeful tears fall like summer rain
Is there a chance? Could it really be you?
To begin anew, again, could it be true?
If there is a God I'll bow at his feet
For the scythe has only reaped deceit
Soft hands lift the collar from my neck
Hair stands in the coldness of her breath
Come my love there's no need of this
Her words moored in sorrowful bliss
I never thought I could weather this storm without you
As I turn around I'm met with an empty room and I knew it couldn't be true
Then she calls for me
My love, I've something for you
Here on the slats it sits
Gift of gifts, box and promise
Harrowing crys escape my lungs
Oh God what have I done
You did this to me
Her charred hand pulls me inside
Burning as I fall
Never letting go
