One Night More

The echos of my cries are swallowed
in the empty dark surrounding
places I have fallen while walking
spinning circles have no end
The hand the held mine once still lingers
distances unmeasured more
The time flies by but crawls back softly
It's only one night more

There has to come a change of pace
the sunrise follows set
The end of this is so inevitable
but slows so I forget
Remember what was once spoken near
Cling to memories so dear
How much longer can we wander
Alone for one night more

I see the shadows taunting me
transparent embraces dangled near
Your voice, so soothing, drifts away
my ears now long to hear
My arms once warm now start to cool
The stories they could tell
rewarm my heart and push me on
Forever one night more
