Requiem for a tear



The heat from my tears
Reminds me of your sweet embrace
As they flow down my lonely face
A silhouette of your heart they trace
 *Once*
Soaked into my skin
The circle begins again
And I remember that not a thing can stop the sun from rising;
The light of a new day is shining
As sure as the world is turning,
My heart is beating
 To Love You
 On Purpose...
