I hear a mournful song on the breeze
Whistling through the sails and the rigging of my prison
On the seas
And whispering of a face I see
When I close my eyes to sleep
And as the days of my life unwind
Distant memories haunt my mind
I see momentary glimpses shadows of an innocence
I since have left behind
Lonely echoes of my only chance for love
And a peace I long to find
Can I ever explain
Longing for a man who only brings me sorrow and pain
Who holds my fate in such distain
He can barely speak God's name
And tell me why is my heart still drawn
To a love I know is wrong
Sometimes all that is within me
Longs for God to give me
The strength just move on
And another tearful dawn
And as the days of my life unwind
Distant memories haunt my mind
I see momentary glimpses shadows of an innocence
I since have left behind
Would I be there in her arms tonight
And why must I face this sleepless night
And another tearful dawn
And another tearful dawn
