• Through the strings are broken
    Beneath my fingertips
    Still I play, a melody spoken –
    Of the promise you made
    The day you went away…
    The day’s hold slips.

    A dream now ended
    Tumbles from my lips,
    Time to be transcended –
    Once again I’ve prayed
    As I sing Death’s lay…
    My heart trips.

    Your arms once more around me
    As the melody dives and dips,
    Your love again surrounds me –
    My heartstring’s still frayed
    I don’t know what to say…
    A vow in deepest darkness fits.
