never one so finely wrought
was seen in all the world
as my sweet, burning rosalynd
who parried my thrusting sword
and crushed my dreams to powder
wrenching my heart from my breast
but wait
the sun breaks anew at yonder window
the east awakes and my soul returns
for this bright orb has relit my wick
i follow on, hard and breathless
my shadow is long behind me
so tall i now stand alight
she smiles, i weep, lilies bloom
see how through cloud she wanders
i despair, lost in darkness
the blade rises through the discord in my ears
sharply it dives, she wakes
i stand again in light, wilting i weep
dear, loving star of morning joy
i was a fool

i thought i knew what i was doing but i was wrong
i thought i knew what i needed but i was so wrong
i thought you knew i was lying but i was wrong
i thought i knew you'd be crying but i was wrong

when i think of the times we spent together
laughing, holding hands, together
when i think of the times i kissed you
i walk away

your amusement was something i cherished
in the moonlight
your caresses something dear, indeed, to me
when i see your eyes reflecting
the moonlight
i know your heart is something dear, indeed

i thought i knew what i was doing but you were wrong
i thought i knew what i needed but you were so wrong
i thought i knew you were lying but i was wrong
i thought i knew who'd be crying but i was wrong

when i think of all the time we've spent together
crying, holding hands, so lonely
when i think of that time you kissed me
i walk away
