The Return

I must confess
It kills me to see you like this
Your last breath
Sweetly leaving your lips
Left this world as she came
Just a shadow, a name
That will haunt me to my grave

And her voice it still echoes through these empty halls
And it brings me to my knees
I'd be remiss to mention just what I would do
If I could only bring you back

Incantations, a fool's paradise
Well, is it worth the price
In the end?
Hide the moon and hold back the tide
The dark, I'd abide
Just to see you again

Return to me, my dearly departed
An angel, veiled, and drowned in tears
I wrestle with shadow
The fever that consumes me
And if I should fail
To bring you back
Well, at least I know I tried
Return to me
My only beloved
Return
Return to me

In frustration, I curse the sky
My only hope denied
Our love is condemned
A flash of light and to my surprise
You open up your eyes
Just to close them again

Return to me, my dearly departed
An angel, veiled, and drowned in tears
I wrestle with shadow
The fever that consumes me
And if I should fail
To bring you back
Well, at least I know I tried
Return to me
My only beloved
Return
Return to me

Another day on my own
I see your name on the stone
A sight I'd feared more than anything
And as the tears turn to rain
I can't escape from the pain
Of losing
Losing you again
Losing you again

Return to me, my dearly departed
On angel's wings, you disappear

Return to me, my dearly departed
An angel, veiled, and drowned in tears
I wrestle with shadow
The fever that consumes me
And if I should fail
To bring you back
Well, at least I know I tried
Return to me, my dearly departed
Return to me, my curse and my sorrow
Return to me, my only beloved
Return
Return to me
