Darkness falling
Hear me calling
Can't escape the way I feel
Nighttime creeping
and I won't be sleeping
weeping for a love I thought was real

I could stare at the ceiling for a hundred years
or hide in a world where you never appear
huddled safe in my cocoon
The whistling wind blowing through the attic
is the cry of a soul when love goes static
frozen just as it begins to bloom

Reach straight down into my marrow
Find every cell pierced with an arrow
You were such a perfect shot
I still can't quite believe how rotten
the apple of my eye has gotten
Am I the man that love forgot?

Remember the times when time stood still
sunlight cascading through your window sill
Won't somebody help me to forget?
