The Long Haul

Such sadness fills me Swelling within me Unable to keep it contained in its core My heart so lonely Afraid of whats coming Endless days stretch on another year more I seek out my angel He's there like a stranger Changing in ways I could never have known So far away now I wish that I knew how To keep all my heartache at bay "Come back soon" is the void in my heart Calling for you all the time spent apart "I miss you" is a tear in my eye Sentiments making my mouth so dry I wait in our bed For a vision tonight Of your smiling face To make everything right Hopelessness, optimist God give me strength for this Sleep take me into your arms Longing for you as I turn out the light Wide awake searching for you in the night Goodnight, I send thee a kiss with the rain And dreamy lovesong til I hold you again
