It was when the autumn came
That I lost it all.
Hit me like a hurricane
All my bridges fell.
Like a tower decayed
I stood without sound.
The ashes of my life betrayed
Burned to the ground.
Nowhere to call home
Lost and alone
No one to speak my name
Turning to stone.
Then as the winter came
My heart froze in the cold.
The wild winds deafen me
As I grow old.
Lost in the silent place
Let me die in peace
As I watch the world go on
Go on without me.
An old bit of statuary
Covered in snow
Try to forget my name
If you even know
Oh as the time goes by
I try to forget
Oh, what could have been
And all the regret
From the Darkness you came to me
Dancing your spell
I felt the warmth on my face
Heard the ringing of bells
That's when you called my name
Long forgotten, Made anew
I finally understood
It could only be you.
You ended my winter
As your smile melts the snow
Thawing my frozen heart
Now that I know
Like the stars wheeling above
Your eyes shining bright
You brought me my springtime
And made everything right.
Come and take my hand
You're the queen of the dawn
Now I understand
I can carry on.
Oh
Oh
I will
I will carry on.
