From childhood's hour he's been his only friend Endless solitude until the end As other's saw he could not bring His passions from a common spring In his growth he was raised and taught well All that he loved, he loved alone In his youth the surroundings drew nearer still Like an autumn breeze that gives its chill The thoughts were not keeping up with the learning spree Leaving him behind the others could not see "Show me hope, if I'd ever to last" The dark haunts his present and his past The melody of his heart chimed the wrong tone In the day, in the dawn Of a stormy life was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery... it binds him still From which he could not love the less So lovely was the loneliness As a man he still dwelt alone Wandering around a world of moan Thinking will he ever get his bride? Or is his life a stagnant tide? Into a self made Hell he was thrown All that he loved, he loved alone Leaving him behind the others could not see "Show me hope, if I'd ever to last, on my own!" Thinking will he ever get his bride? Or is his life a stagnant tide? Into a self made Hell he was thrown All that he loved, he loved alone
