I put my mind at ease, banishing all things vile, What good are memories that don't inspire a smile?
But now and then my heart forgets to lock the door, And when the portals part, he's standing there once more
Of course, I can't deny him entry --- I'm too weak, And yes, I know I'll cry with every lie he'll speak
It seems I never learned to let go of his hand, Not all bridges were burned, love's flame might yet be fanned
O, foolish heart of mine, the truth is plain to see: When love makes one resign itself to misery, And every sleepless night is caused by love's deceit, Can you ignore the Light of Truth there at your feet?
The time is long past due to set his memory free, Let love's promise renew, let all sad feelings flee
Prepare the burial shroud, ensure the grave is deep, Grieve one last time aloud . . . Now let the demons sleep!
