Thru' the long years
I saw tears
I found ecstasy
I found anguish
I found madness
I found loneliness
I found solitude in pain
that broke the heart
but peace I did not find.
Now alone and near my end
I have known you
and knowing you
I have found what it is in peace
I know rest,
I' ve got so many long years
I know what life and love may be
now look if I sleep
I should free fulfil
Thru' the long years
I saw tears
I found ecstasy
I found anguish
I found madness
I found loneliness
but peace I did not find
I did not find.
After so many lonely years
I know what life and love may be
now if I'd live
I shall sleep fulfil.
