Impossible wishes ensnare my mind
And mournful tears drown reality’s view
While my heart still searches, trying to find
The one who was so clever and true

I dream that someday he’ll return to me
And my life would be what it was back then
But I know in my heart that it can’t be
And that I can never go back again

Yet still my silent vigil will I hold
To keep the ever pressing dark at bay
And keep my heart from all consuming cold
With the light of hope’s now faltering ray

And though my mind will tell me otherwise,
My cagéd heart believes it’s own sad lies
