Lyrics
Soft veils of night descend so slow A fragile heart in twilight's glow
Beneath the weight of endless rain My spirit bends in quiet pain The fleeting joys now turned to dust In sorrow's arms, I place my trust Waves of grief upon the shore Forever crashing, evermore
Through tempests wild, the soul does roam Chasing ghosts in hollow home Deeper still, the anguish grows Like rivers carved through ancient stone No dawn to pierce this somber veil Only tears that never fail
Beneath the weight of endless rain My spirit bends in quiet pain The fleeting joys now turned to dust In sorrow's arms, I place my trust Waves of grief upon the shore Forever crashing, evermore
Yet in this hush, a peace unfolds Sorrow's gift, in silver holds Rest now, weary wandering heart In serene repose, we gently part
Sorrow's Endless Shore
