day and night

I Walk Alone

Love, where are thou?
Day by day I exist at home
At night in city streets I roam
I try and try, too hard they say
But to care for others is my way
No mother to call my own
A brother, who seek my throne
A sister, whom I used to know
Her son, twas I, watched him grow
No father to help, when I fall
There's never anyone, none at all
A girl friend may bridge the gap.

I would care for her, she for me
We'd share our lives in harmony
Another grave mistake I have made
She cared not for me, Now I'll fade
Into the dark of night, whence I came
For now I know I'm not to blame
Lies are told me, day in day out
My temper is calm, no scream or shout
Only one thing that keeps me going
There's love in my heart for you
Who you are, I've yet to learn
So back to the street

One yearns to be loved and cared
You want the same no doubt
I have it here in my heart
Person right will know me true
The past, before, have all but one
Been false, save that one I loved
Still, then and now, and always
I wish she could hear my vow
May I love tenderly, memory
I should have ne'er let her go
Soles match, perfect? ne'er to know.

Now search will resume
To find another such bloom
Lost hope to see the first
Her-self, my heart could burst
End in death, fore glory
Such is my sole story
Tricked, deceived, foolish the game
He who wooed and now shame,
Guide hearts o'er ramparts, love
Guide efforts from stars above
Love, passion and ecstasy hone
Until such time, I Walk Alone
