Choirs In The Night Wake Me

Choirs in the night wake me Like twinkling leaves in the rain Somehow the wind must take me Carry me back here dreaming—again. To that figment of a memory That shall always remain the same To my darling, I will love you forever Though she's—already— gone forgotten our songs refrain. Choirs in the night wake me Like a creature filled with fear I look around the darkness And know that you're still not here. It fills me with the deepest sadness It fills me with tears Though I have long loved you, darling, I haven't because you've been gone for some years. Choirs in the night still haunt me Shackle me with pain Though I have loved you always You don't know, even now how my tears exclaim. The wind is a howling Like a tempest in a storm But in my heart, there lies an empty vessel. And one who is a shipwrecked soul of my soul? If only life itself were more faithful To the feelings in our hearts Maybe then we'd been much more, able To both finish what we start.
