Rest thou my heart of sleepless sorrow
Of night I hardly ever sought
Love thou bathed with arrogance yet shallow
Of selfish desires that triumph in my thought
Out of tears, out of love
The heaviest my heart gets of emotions that do not rest
Out of tears, out of love
What of love so brief such ends my quest?
I hear your voice like music in my mind Playing like records over and over
Like of dreams I could not forget.
