lyrics

LYRICS:

Alone in the dark
I sit here on the floor
Desperately trying to find a way
To the lover’s door
I close my eyes
And drift off into the vast
Oh how I yearn
To be with you at long last

Waiting to be saved
Waiting for your grace
Waiting for love’s embrace
To fill this void in my life

I am torn to pieces
From which only love can bind
Lost in a void inside
Please help me find my way
Bring me peace
My soul longs to be aligned with yours
I am torn inside
For love is what I pray

I walk these empty streets
The same way as before
My shadow’s my only friend
And behold its beauty
I close my eyes
And lose myself in the moment
A lesson learned in yearning
To share one life with you

Waiting to be saved
Waiting for your touch
Waiting for too much
For what may never be again

I am torn to pieces
From which only love can bind
Lost in a void inside
Please help me find my way
Bring me peace
My soul longs to be aligned with yours
I am torn inside
For love is what I pray

…and I weep in silence…

The Man In My Head
by Roy Dahan

I found this through browsing through bandcamp. "Light My Way" reeled me in so quick and it was after about 15-20 listens of the song before I remembered that there were 10 other songs that followed. RJ Mendoza
