Dusk has come to a life sad and long decayed Where I once walked, old shadows lie But in that beautiful void, the loneliest place there is A heart is still and all words are ash When a sadness draws me down Leave me to lie, unchain me from the earth Leave me at rest, paling to shade When a sadness has lingered too long Set down the sun and hang the silent moon Close all the doors and withdraw amid the silence In a bleak home of despair A house emptied of its cares A haunted fearful place lost in its own shadows Harrowed but somehow quietly grieving I long to stay here Sombre and in corruption
