Once my life was plain and clear
I recall
Once my ignorance was bliss
Nightfall came
Like a serpent’s kiss
To my troubled mind
Why, oh why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety?
Behind the old façade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me 'cross the river wide
Binding promises were made
On my soul
Grand illusions led astray
Ice cold winds swept my heart away
Bring me back to you
Why, oh why my God
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety?
Behind the old façade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me 'cross the river wide.
I remember a song
Like in a dream
When September was long
Winter unreal.
Why oh why, my God above,
Have you abandoned me
In my sobriety?
Behind the old façade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me 'cross the river wide.
