Mourning Song

Like a heart in winter beats alone
Solitary is this place I call my own
Memories of sun
That fan
An undiminished flame

Mourning song
And still you're gone
Somehow I'll find my way
To fill my glass up to the rim
Unearthing gold each day
True is my devotion
Always there beneath my skin

No forgetting what is left behind
Light and shadow from a once elusive sky
Wanting to possess me
Like an unforgiving rain

Mourning Song
And still you're gone
Somehow I'll find a way
To fill my glass up to the rim
unearthing gold each day
True was our devotion
Once a bright undying dream

Memories of sun
That fan an undiminished flame

Mourning Song
And still you're gone
Somehow I'll find a way
To fill my glass up to the rim
Unearthing gold each day
True is my devotion
Always there beneath my skin

Wow. Beautiful, powerful imagery,
"Somehow I'll find a way to fill my glass up to the rim..."
Empty, seeking to be full again...

Some things are so easy to forget. However, a loss like yours is always there "beneath the skin" My thoughts are with you.
