A desert in the heart

歌詞

lost- he's surely lost now when he tries to strip himself of a past that keeps holding on so many times before I've tried to let go to peel off deception's mask but hid my fears behind walls of sorrow and like a cold, bitter chill one cannot shake disillusionment sits by my side (so in her I must confide) she tells me dark secrets and grim tales of regrets she tells me: love is not lost, it dies like all things do buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries alone - no one to share her days with she chokes on the stale dry air of memories she chokes on the words she says to no one at night and whispers her questions to the walls and drifts to sleep no one there to share her dreams and oh how it hurts to see tears fall from her eyes into the desert some are sent to starve weary and weak they make their way home and though our tired hearts will bear the scars let us find who we are buried in the night's shadows I await the dawn of a new day hold my hand, come with me to the skies let us shout battle hymns lust and love waging war to the very end let us stomp on heavens below let us not be afraid (for life wears a new face) love is not lost, it dies like all things do buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries and waits for broken wings to heal...to fly again someday
