Drops in the Lake

I get by but I'm tired of myself

And I doubt that I ever will find someone else

Lonely days fall like drops in the lake of our love

I just want it to be like it was

And I want you to be as you were long ago

I go down to the edge of the lake

Where I wait through the night for the dawn light to break

Memories of old crash like waves on the shore of my mind

And I pray that the stars will align

I just want us to be who we were long ago

I just want what was

How I yearn for the years we were young and in love

I get by but it's hard to forget

In the smoke of denial, in the fog of regret

This moment, dark sunlight, clouds in the sky of my soul

Then I hear the thunder roll

I look up at the uncaring sky

With a prayer on my lips

And a tear in my eye

Oh how the heart burns like fire in the light of the moon

I just hope you'll be coming back soon

Oh

You're my long lost love

Can we turn back the wheel?

Simply wait and love
