Each day is like night
When my heart is away
I feel not the light
Nor the air in its play
Every dream's at a stop
With its turning around
And down is like an up
Somewhere else now found

Like a day inside dark
Shadows tempers on
That will not now spark
Only lost and be gone
Each love's like evening
That has nowhere to go
Only burnt flames bring
In its feelings and glow

Were we once two stood
With so much to give
And fortune was of good
Making contact to live
There is nothing now there
Were it one time stayed
Only shadows of somewhere
From a time that played
