Grey daylight bleeds through my bedroom window
Wake me from a deep and dreamless sleep
Rain echoes off the mud
I am as bleek as the day

Dayspring brings no optimism
Like days of my youth
When mornings swelled with exhilaration
A sunny side disposition

Now apprehension bears down
Unbearably
Pressing, choking, smothering
The day is so terribly long

Bone-weary I sit upon stones
Begging the waves to wash away my sorrow
Beseeching the sunset to take my regret
But they do not

The cold gust of night and melancholia
Now all I have is the moon
She pours down her shining sentiment
Still I am alone
