Wandering among the shades of night
My friends at peace but still in sight
Hear their muted laughter in dusted dew
The only youth we ever knew
A restless sea the source to know
How often vainly sought in things below
The crown of pride that killed each mortal brow
Oh heavens and earth they're falling now
Oh let me shut my eyes close out
Oh Lord vanish the angering doubt
Through the raging tears in my heart declare
And these stormy clouds they are everywhere
Let me cry out loud...
The evening flies on ruptured wings
The hours of delight that once they bring
In agony so far away
For every past as well as future day
In fragrant fear of deep regret
How do I strain and shall forget
And clouded scenes with treacherous skies
My maddening brain has reached the lies
Yet still the static leaks of an untuned radio
Nobody hears me now I am ceased where can I go
Storm lifted waves shift rushing to the open shore
Back through the darkest cave you can hear the thunders roar
Can't find it now
Just show me how
I wonder why
Just let me die.
