Hope's Unfading Flame

In the quiet of the night I feel you near A shadow in my dreams Always appearing Every moment without you Pulls me under the ditch Like endless summer thunder Your landless summer thunder Here I am Your languor lingers in the air I breathe a gentle ache That time cannot relieve My heart is calling out Across the miles Hoping somehow you'll hear My silent trials Oh, this longing Burns like a flame inside Oh, this longing For your touch Your smile Nowhere to hide I reach for you In the dark But you're gone This endless yearning Carries on and on The stars above Seem to be Colder now alone They witness secrets Only we have known Your voice replays In every passing breeze Your voice replays A melody that brings me to my knees My soul is wandering Lost in the rain Chasing the ghost of what we can't regain Oh, this longing Burns like a flame inside For your touch Your smile Nowhere to hide I reach for you In the dark But you're gone This endless yearning Carries on and on Oh, this longing Burns like a flame inside Your hands and make you stay Rewrite the story Chase the pain away But fate has woven threads We can't unwind Still And in my heart You're forever mine Oh Oh, this longing Burns like a flame inside For your touch Your smile Nowhere to hide I reach for you in the dark But you're gone This endless yearning Carries on and on This endless yearning This endless yearning
