[male
vocals] (
Soft
flute
melody
drifts
over
a
distant,
mournful
organ) (
Guitar
strumming
slow,
heavy)
Oh,
the
weight
of
the
silence
is
louder
than
the
rain.
Why
does
the
heart
search
for
home
in
a
desert?
I
built
a
house
of
cards
upon
your
shifting
sand
I
offered
you
my
soul,
I
offered
you
my
hand
But
every
promise
made
was
like
a
vapor
in
the
heat
Leaving
nothing
but
the
rhythm
of
my
own
heartbeat
I
gave
you
everything,
the
gold
within
the
sun
But
now
I’
m
standing
here,
staring
down
the
barrel
of
a
gun
Of
memories
that
haunt,
of
whispers
in
the
dark
I’
m
trying
to
find
the
light,
but
I
can’
t
even
find
a
spark
It’
s
heavy
on
my
chest,
this
struggle
to
be
kind
When
all
the
love
I
sow
is
the
only
thing
I
find
Left
rotting
on
the
vine,
forgotten
in
the
frost
Counting
up
the
pieces
of
everything
I’
ve
lost.
Why
does
love
keep
failing
me,
tell
me
where
I
went
wrong?
I’
m
singing
to
the
shadows,
a
broken,
hollow
song
Searching
for
the
reason,
searching
for
the
why
Watching
all
the
beauty
in
my
life
just
pass
me
by
Oh,
tell
me
why,
when
I
give
my
all,
it
turns
to
dust?
Is
there
no
reward
for
the
ones
who
hold
the
trust?
Why
does
love
keep
failing
me,
why
does
it
have
to
end?
When
all
I
ever
wanted
was
a
lover
and
a
friend.
I
remember
how
we
danced
when
the
moon
was
turning
blue
I
thought
the
path
was
clear,
I
thought
the
vision
true
But
love
is
just
a
mirror
that
shows
you
all
your
flaws
And
I
am
tired
of
fighting
against
these
hidden
laws
I’
m
weary
of
the
chase,
I’
m
tired
of
the
mend
Trying
to
predict
how
the
story’
s
gonna
bend
It’
s
a
lonesome
road
I
walk,
with
burdens
on
my
back
Tracing
all
the
colors
that
have
faded
into
black
I
see
the
Taureg
winds
blowing
through
the
open
door
I’
m
not
the
man
I
was,
I’
m
not
that
man
anymore
And
the
organ
plays
a
chord
that
echoes
in
the
deep
Promising
a
harvest
that
I’
ll
never
get
to
reap.
Why
does
love
keep
failing
me,
tell
me
where
I
went
wrong?
I’
m
singing
to
the
shadows,
a
broken,
hollow
song
Searching
for
the

searching
for
the

Why

why
does
it
have
to
end?
When
all
I
ever
wanted
was
a
lover
and
a
friend. (
Saxophone
solo,
weeping
and
slow)
Maybe
the
sorrow
is
the
teacher,
maybe
the
pain
is
the
gate
I’
m
learning
how
to
carry
the
heavy
hand
of
fate
If
love
is
a
lesson,
then
I’
ve
studied
every
line
But
still,
the
peace
I’
m
seeking
is
never
truly
mine
I’
m
moving
through
the
motions,
I’
m
rising
from
the
floor
Closing
up
the
window,
and
locking
up
the
door.
Why
does
love
keep
failing
me,
tell
me
where
I
went
wrong?
I’
m
singing
to
the
shadows,
a
broken,
hollow
song
Searching
for
the
reason,
searching
for
the

Watching

Oh,

When

I
ever
wanted
was
a
lover
and
a
friend. (
Flute
fades
into
the
keyboard
chords)
It’
s
time
to
let
the
river
flow
Time
to
let
the
embers
go
I’
m
finding
my
own
way
Even
if
the
sky
is
gray (
Fade
out
with
organ
sustaining)
Only
love
remains,
hidden
in
the
pain.
