In broken tune
my sorrowful heart
sings
In winters snow
as grey clouds loom
A melody rings

A nightingale sings
into the cold dark sky
I feel the darkness
within the cold outside

Deep within
my soul begins to sing
Echoing through the sky
A dark chant
of the emptiness inside

On this dark night
my heart feels every
sound
Pulsating through my
life
That has brought me to the
ground
Leaving me in a dark
tunnel
with little light
To see my way through

Songs in the dark
Flow through me
Like life
A depressing tune
sings inside my life

Yet in the darkness
You are inside
A small hope
A flicker of a flame
That never dies.
