By my side, but turned away You left long ago A loving smile that can't betray A disappointed heart And when she cries it brings to mind All the ways i fail How useless are my hurtful ways How selfishly i failed to live the dream Close your eyes And rest your head in the silence and the dark Who can hurt you now? In the arms of the one you love If i offer all i have Can it be enough? Governed by this helplessness And these empty hands And when she cries before the light No one there to see The weary heart returns again To the sanctuary
