When we two parted
In silence and tears
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years

The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.

Promises broken
And life is your fame
I hear your name spoken
And share in it's shame.

Tell me now what I am
What I do without you mam
Is it true could it be
That desperation sleeps beside me
