Within my soul emptiness prevails
Sadness runs to deep
My lonely heart wails
My blue eyes weep

I thought your love was mine
That you'd come to understand
What was needed in time
You would always be my man

You leave me to myself
Not knowing it's effect
Your love kept high upon a shelf

The pain I daily endure
Keeps you from my embrace
Only you know the secret cure
Taste the tears upon my face

Caress my saddened soul
Touch my lonely heart
Allow us to become whole
Spending life together not apart
