This earth feels barren without you,
And I have learned to sleep beside my shadow
On the night you left for heaven
You told me, "My heart has gone numb."
Since then, my heart is an empty room
Where memories fly without end
All my thoughts fall into that silence
While my mind swims oceans of agony.
I live aimlessly like plankton
For what is life without my lover?
I ache from loss, I grieve so daringly,
Waiting for death, I will see my lover.

This earth feels barren without you,
And I have learned to sleep beside my shadow
On the night you left for heaven
You told me, "My heart has gone numb."
Since then, my heart is an empty room
Where memories fly without end
All my thoughts fall into that silence
While my mind swims oceans of agony.
I live aimlessly like plankton
For what is life without my lover?
I ache from loss, I grieve so daringly,
Waiting for death, I will see my lover.
