I Used To Stand Alone

I used to stand outside and the stars would hear my dreams
They told me that in love and hate, nothing is as it seems
And all is fair and all is right
When we turn out the light
In the silent darkness of the night things can happen so fast
And as highly as a bird flies
It waits not for good-byes
As the morning breeze rushes past to caress my chilled skin
I close my eyes and think back to where I have once been
When all the stars did sing
And nightly bells did ring
When once the memories were still young and everthing was real
And the narrow road to peace was found only by the love we feel
I used to stand alone and wait
Thinking of my true love mate
And wondering where he has gone and wondering if I made a mistake
When he asked me for the night and my body and soul my love did take
Now I have wasted another year
And still my heart will not hear
The truth that looms up like a dark and vengeful beast, screaming at me
I turn my head away from the sight it shows to me and refuse to see
Although I know my dreams are in vain
The truth will not render me insane
That the one I gave my whole life and my whole being to is never coming back
Let me alone to dwell in memories of time and place my heart does lack
And though I bear most of the shame
I know I am not only to blame
I used to stand outside and place my hopes and dreams upon the stars in the skies
Silently mourning, for the day he left me alone forever was the day my soul died
