Heart Like a Grave

Sound of the waves
Song of the woeful wind
Beauty of yearning
The tune of my heart

For once there was a time
When I sat by your side
And right before our eyes
The world was open wide

(Days of youth)
Are long since gone
(Never return)
To return again
But a long slow desert left anymore
The waning years of
Heartache and regret

(And yet the winds sing)
(They sing the fairest tune)
(I hear the waves sigh)
(They sigh out from pain)

And since you set out
To reach for your hopes and dreams
I'll stay here helpless and in sight
For these wounded wings
I've never left this barren soil
Where all my wishes slowly fade away

(Days of youth)
Are long since gone
(Never return)
To return again
But a long slow desert left anymore
The waning years of
Heartache and regret

Do you still remember? (Do you still remember?)
Would you still believe? (Would you still believe?)
That this blackened soul of mine (Soul of mine)
Was once untarnished

Years of disappointment
And disillusion
All I see in the mirror now
Is an old man with a heart like a grave

Do you still remember? (Do you still remember?)
Would you still believe? (Would you still believe?)
That this blackened soul of mine
Was once untarnished
