Gone Are the Days

I found a ring inside a box of buried dreams
Where hope sleeps tight among the secrets and the schemes
And underneath the box in black and white and red
I found a hidden letter, this is what it said

" I'll never rest until I find the broken heart I left behind "

Gone are the days through the haze
Only sorrow lives on
No skies of blues
Only hues of a past ever gone

I saved the letter and the faded memory
And searched the world for the answers left for me
The years roll by and lines adorn my hands and face
A trail of tears that even time cannot erase

I'll never rest until I find the broken heart he left behind

Gone are the days through the haze
Only sorrow lives on
No skies of blues
Only hues of a past ever gone

My journey ends atop a mountain high
Two crosses stand alone and reach toward the sky
And on the ground a broken box of buried dreams
The letter turns to dust and blows into the trees

She finally rests in dreams sublime
Her one true love now by her side

Gone are the days through the haze
Only sorrow lives on
No skies of blues
Only hues of a past ever gone
Gone are the days ...

" It's nearly dawn as I write this, a time of day that will forever bring me sorrow
I will hold on to yesterday if you will hold onto tomorrow
Our love will be your beacon of light to guide you through your darkest night
And we will meet again somehow, someway when sunlight warms the coldest day
And I'll never rest until I find the broken heart I left behind "
