When the Darkness Falls

Here I am, struggling with loneliness

I sit and wait for the sun to go down

It's summer with long bright evenings

I see so many walking hand in hand

I wake up every day thinking I'm not me

I'm not the person I was meant to be

It's hard to say where it all went wrong

Hope and faith fade away on roads I walk

I can only imagine how things could be

When the night falls, I can only dream of you

It's a little too late to turn every stone in my midlife

The days drift away like a timeless song

It's not always easy to understand

When the darkness falls, the thoughts I hide come crawling back

I see a haunted soul there in the dark

I can't find the way to where you are

I keep on searching but can't find the road

I reach for you but only touch the rain

This is life, this is pain, and I try to understand

It's a little too late to turn every stone in my midlife

The days drift away like a timeless song

It's not always easy to understand

When the darkness falls, the thoughts I hide come crawling back

Yes, when the darkness falls, the thoughts I hide come crawling back
