Loss of Love

Love is storm and wind and tide

All the tears your heart can hold

But I look back after loss of love

And know the days were gold

I see only shattered skies

Not a ray of light to find

But I look back after loss of love

And sunlight blinds my mind

Songs were sung with words as young as May

But in the midst of summer, winter came

A chill blew out the flame

Now, the words of haunted songs

Ring as clear as they did then

But I look back after loss of love

And I live to love again

Now, the words of haunted songs

Ring as clear as they did then

Still, I look back after loss of love

And live to love again
