When I ponder, while I wander with myself,
I ponder your faithfulness and how faithless it was.

Hand in hand with myself
I walk with the sundown at my back,
The golden light casting long shadows of you,
Reaching out for me.

I gaze my eyes upon your lowly shadow,
For a short moment as this day is fades to black,
And with it I must go into darkness, into the silent night,
Leaving your ghostly shadow in the dust of yesterday.

Believe me, my path is not without pain,
Longing and loss tempt me ceaselessly to turn back,
But I push on through the cold night,
Hoping for a rising sun to warm my dark heart.

I know I will find my way,
My sun will rise again,
And your shadow will loom over me,
Nevermore.
