Oh, how the snow had fallen
in my soul
and an icy chill has fallen
upon this heart of mine
as though it has become a frozen lake
in the center of all that I am.
Oh, a deep frigid chill
has lived within my bones.
Oh, how I was a lost man
that lived in deep shadow
of a grief that I have had
for your love.
Oh, and this longing has been
such a deep aching pain
that my mind
had fled from me
and my heart failed me
and I was death.
Oh, how I wished
to be no more
and all the universe with me.
Till the day you set me free
and it seemed that I was in a dream.
Oh, as though God had sent his angel
to take me to the gates of the blessed.
Oh, that was the day
you released my soul
for that sea of pain.
And I cried as your arms held me
and I knew that your love would never end.
Oh, that was the day I knew
that all your love is real
and that was the day my life began
and all the world would never again be the same.
Oh, you have melted the ice
that has so tortured my soul
and healed my wounded heart.
Oh, let us live in each others eternity
far above this cold dead world
to such heights that loveless men can never know.
Oh, let us pass the ages in each others arms
and live in our bed of passion
for as long eternity seeks its course to run.
