I met her in my darkest hours
When few would meet my eyes
Broken, I was drained of power
Though deep within, I was alive.
With failing strength in dead of night
I called upon her compassion
Desperate for some sign of light
Struggling to make sense of my tortured passions
Her words fell upon my deadened heart
When all was lost and dreams were shattered
And all my world was pain and tears.
And will was weak and grief was strong
With melody, so full of life
she shattered every wall within
Her sweetness rang into my heart
And calmed a raging chagrin
I had no space for disappointment
I could not turn away
And after all the feelings settled
I couldn’t forget her way.
I lifted my eyes and tried to focus
I felt far away and so lonely
Yet there she stands like a shining star
The brightest light that I could see
I’ll follow her into the night,
I’ll chase her in the dawn
I’ll gravitate into her orbit
I’ll smile and play and fawn
With her I am a stronger heart
Younger and enflamed
With her I have a bold new start
I’ll never be the same.
