I've always known your song.
I've heard it in the darkness.
Its notes have echoed in my heart
Till I memorized every broken part,
And I have cried with you
When its sad notes faltered,
When your feet lost their footing,
And your soul began to wander.
I tried to call you back to me,
Singing your song from memory,
But though I know it too well,
It is still your song, not mine.
A reflection of beauty is
Only just a reflection,
And my voice could never sing
The song that's full of your soul.
Dear one, sing your heart.
I am listening to the silence
With open ears, if only for a whisper
- A broken whisper of a song
I knew when it first began.
I've always known your song.
I've heard it in the darkness,
And now I need it, love.
If you lose your music,
If you lose your soul,
I'll lose myself alone.
I've been screaming out your song
For I know it better than my own,
And now I've lost my own.
Where are you, my soul, my song?
Where are you, my sweetest note?
