Melancholy is the requiem

of our last bittersweet adieu

as a faraway horizon calls,

softly whispering your name



The lull before the storm

plays a haunting adagio

for the fading of our season

and I hear the wind weeping

as it brushes past my face

and I hear the distant thunder

as it echoes through the trees.



Grief steeped in absinthium

stains errant thoughts to

an ever darkening tint

and still the adagio plays... the

sad adagio plays... still.

Lyrics: Adagio





I don't know where to find you

I don't know how to reach you

I hear your voice in the wind

I feel you under my skin

Within my heart and my soul

I wait for you

Adagio

All of these nights without you

All of my dreams surround you

I see and I touch your face

I fall into your embrace

When the time is right I know

You'll be in my arms

Adagio

I close my eyes and I find a way

No need for me to pray

I've walked so far

I've fought so hard

Nothing more to explain

I know all that remains

Is a piano that plays

If you know where to find me

If you know how to reach me

Before this light fades away

Before I run out of faith

Be the only man to say

That you'll hear my heart

That you'll give your life

Forever you'll stay

Don't let this light fade away

Don't let me run out of faith

Be the only man to say

That you believe, make me believe

You won't let go

Adagio
