The Autumn Years

You have seek for
Hope for so long
But yet to find
Shelter among
Pain and darkness

So you have shroud
Yourself inside
The Autumn Years

Where the water runs
Forever and never
Clear and still
Where the sun shines only
Above the clouds
And bellow the dust
Forever and for better

Where the rain
Embraces you like
Her own seed
And there you wander
With the cold stream
Of the northern wind

Into
The Autumn Years you've found
A place to rest your heart
To release the burden of your fears
Inside my precious Autumn Years

Twice upon a time
I've dreamed of these
Shapeless tears
But yet to find
A home among
My dreadful years

Twice upon a time
I've died in my years
But still, I crave a home
Inside these dreadful tears

Once upon a time
I've shed my only tears
Yet I crave a life
Inside these dreadful years

I crave a life
I crave my only years
Inside these
Lonesome tears
