My darkened heart
Thought it’d never see the day
But your love began to part
The shadow looming gray

Our young love
Is like a bird and nest
In morning parts the dove
But flies back by night to rest

Every moment growing
Knowing not its bound
Neither of us knowing
The ship would run aground

But like the sun
Rising to light the earth
All too soon the day is done
Its death is in its birth

My poor heart
Finally saw the day
All too soon we had to part
And all that’s left is gray
