I awoke in my private place Somewhere deeper in the dark And i breathed an empty breath So i lied there till the night returned my heart Why does night refuse to stop Taking all our precious day? Why must i refuse to stop? And my present makes my past ashamed And my present makes my past all a waste And it wrenches my heart and it caves in my core Is the place that i've come the place where i once had sworn? And it wrenches my heart and it caves in my core From where have i come, and when will i return? Saw the sun soak through the clouds Like a fire buried in the snow And it struck me all at once An idea that i buried long ago And it wrenches my heart and it caves in my core Is the place that i've come the place where i once had sworn? And it wrenches my heart and it caves in my core From where have i come, and when will i return? From where have i come, and when will i return?
