Lingering in the Night
















Emptiness fills up my mind,
My heart is barren, too.
I long to laugh, or even cry;
There’s nothing I can do.

I play at laughter through the day,
Count moments through the night.
I know there’s nothing I can do
To make it all feel right.

There is a brooding sense of doom
That lingers in the air;
I try to turn my mind from it
But it’s still everywhere.

I know the light is waiting there,
Beyond the tunnel’s dark,
But I seem hopelessly trapped here
Without a single spark.

Please help me find my way back home,
Beyond the empty night,
Where passions flow like sparkling waves
That glitter with the light.
