how did we turn love to a lie, destroy the light we held high

the one that kept us together, when others wept goodbye

we doused the beacon of hope, our anchoring rope

the lifeline always there when we truly needed new hope

now our love light has grown dim or the fog has moved in

we stretched apart till it is stretched way too thin

we lay beneath covers, remembering when we were lovers

and wish that the light again would glow strong

I hear your soft sigh, but I can’t feel your warm thigh

we’re a mile apart and that’s so hellishly wrong

in the stillness of night, I don’t need a light

to know your teardrops lay damp on the sheet

I can see in my heart, we’ve both drifted apart

somewhere we must find neutral ground we can meet

I reach across the cold divide, hoping that you won’t hide

from the last chance of what’s left of our love’s past

I feel your fingers in mine, so strongly entwine

we found with love we can hold again to each other at last
