When Love Is Lost, All Is Lost.....

Shadowy Grave

I look at your tombstone
reading the engravings
I notice all your beautiful flowers
so many of them
so many people admired you
I requested this spot
the spot under the tree
you always liked to lie in the shade
so I give you a shadowy grave

I love you
and don't ever forget that
i wanted us to grow up together
but you had to put me out
out of your life
when you did except me
except me into your heart
i didn't know where to start
i practiced what i would say
over and over again
but now that you want me
my mind goes blank
i just sank
right into your open arms

i remember all the good times we had
it makes me so sad
to recall what we had
had between us
nothing could keep us apart
you always had a place in my heart
a place to go when you are down
when you a hurt
when you need someone to love
i am allways here
even though
you have a shadowy grave

if i could only bring you back
before this time bomb
goes off in me
before the next revolution
I try
oh god I try
to redeem myself
but i need your help
what do i do
what do i say
i will never know
because you have a shadowy grave
