And if my lips sing a sad song tonight
It’s only so that you find the light
Through this night, as the darkness disappears
No longer will you know any fears
Feel the stillness all around you
See how the desert lives
Hear the sound beneath the silence
Of the peaceful calm that finally comes
In this barren land of concrete and stone
Comes a peace that grief cannot deny
As the hours go by
You’ll no longer cry
Even as your pain spans to the sky
And if my lips sing a sad song tonight
It’s only so that you find the light
Through this night, as the darkness disappears
No longer will you know any fears
It’s a song I sing for you alone
Heard / sung only if you’re calmed / soothed
For these words choke off my voice
Like the night engulfs the world
Brutal, lonely parting sorrow
I am prepared for your first blow
I am the first of your beloved you leave behind / that you’ve freed
And one of the last who will mourn your life / your memory
In our hourglass the last grain falls
With you I’ve won although I lose it all
And there’s nothing that I’m left to miss
All we possess remains with us in memories
The last reminder of you frozen in time
As twilight separates your world from mine
