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 (2).
