Darkness Of My Mind

I SINK FASTER AND FASTER, DEEPER AND DEEPER

INTO THE CLUTCHES OF DARKNESS I GO

WHERE IS THE LIGHT  THAT  I  ONCE KNEW

WHERE IS THE POWER THAT USED TO FLOW

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WOMAN I WAS

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MAN I KNEW?

WHERE DID WE GO YOU AND I

ARE WE LOST FOREVER IN TIME

WHAT OF THE HOPE AND THE DREAMS WE SHARED

WHERE ARE THE PLANS OF LIFE WE  DARED



I DREAM OF DAYS I ONCE KNEW

WHERE LIFE WAS WONDERFUL WITH YOU

OF TIMES SO FULL AND GIVING

WHERE OUR LIVES WERE WORTH LIVING

NOW THIS LIFE HAS LOST ITS JOY

NOW ALL THAT I AM IS JUST A SHADOW

I KNOW NOT ANY LONGER WHO I AM

WHERE DID YOU GO MY DARLING MAN

TO PLACES WHERE I NO LONGER AM..



WHERE IS THE LOVE WE ONCE SHARED

WHERE ARE THE DREAMS WE ONCE DARED

WHERE ARE THE FEELINGS YOU ONCE HAD

WHERE ARE THE THINGS YOU WANTED SO BAD

IS ALL WE HAD JUST DEAD AND GONE?

OR CAN WE REALLY GO ON

WILL WE TRY AND REGAIN ALL THAT WE LOST OR

WILL WE LOOSE ALL THAT WE HAD, OR WILL WE

FIND IT AGAIN?



I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART

I HOPE FROM YOU NEVER TO PART

BUT SORROW MUST CEASE AND

WE MUST FIND PEACE

FOR PAIN AND SUFFERING MUST END

FOR ON YOU I DEPEND

YOU ARE THE ONLY HELP FOR ME

PLEASE  HELP ME TO BE FREE

BE THE MAN I NEED YOU TO BE

NOT THE ONE YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE



I HAVE A PAIN SO DEEP INSIDE

FROM ALL OF THIS I TRY TO HIDE

BUT AS DAYS GO BY AND MY DREAMS DO DIE

ALL THAT I AM AND HAVE EVER BEEN

JUST SLIPS BY NO MORE TO BE SEEN

HELP ME MY LOVE TO FIND THE ANSWER

LET ME NOT BE DEATHS DANCER

BUT LIFE CAN BE RENEWED BY FAITH

ONE STEP AT A TIME, IS ALL IT TAKES

TAKE MY HAND AND LEAD ME HOME

PLEASE, LEAVE ME NOT ALWAYS ALONE
