Shadows fall across the floor Night begins as I close the door The day is gone, nearly out of sight There is no way to defer the night My hopes arose at break of day That love would come and it would stay The sun rose high in the noonday sky Now I know it was all a lie You hope and dream and still hang on Remembering what you felt at dawn The sun is now past it’s peak And I will not find what I seek I feel so helpless within my plight So little time while there is light What kind of sin did I commit That for love I was unfit A single ray shines in my room Just moments left to dispel my gloom Is there a power somewhere above To end my day with a touch of love.
