Elegy for Love
Make a dream of me for that is what I crave
A sad dream in darkness and a midnight grave
By your hand make me dust, bury me where I belong
In a world of nightmares, for this love I bear is wrong
Turn away from me forever, call down light from above
It is a peaceful death I beg from you now, my love
Embrace warmth, all things beautiful and light
Let me go when you awaken, lonely in the winter's night
Say a soft elegy for our love and then forget
Our futile dance in darkness and dream without regret
For I have found a reason, my solemn journey's passed
No greater joy has this broken soul then to have loved at last
