lyrics
Low, lost and gone
As the storm rages on
And only surrender will bring you peace again
To have and to hold you
Your dreams will unfold you
For all that I've tried to become
But never will be
Still that road winds through
The places we once knew
Late at night darlin', all alone
One more for the angels before I go
Where the coal night wears on
Towards some unforgiving dawn
And I'm lost in my mind of regret, where I went wrong
For a cold wind blows
Through body and through soul
When the light and the love of your dreams just fades away
A prayer and a plea
For to be released
Yes, to sing such golden hymns
Through fire and flood and back again
To not see, yet still believe
Ah to sleep! Perchance to dream!
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, darlin', I don't know
As the storm rages on
And only surrender will bring you peace again
To have and to hold you
Your dreams will unfold you
For all that I've tried to become
But never will be
Still that road winds through
The places we once knew
Late at night darlin', all alone
One more for the angels before I go
Where the coal night wears on
Towards some unforgiving dawn
And I'm lost in my mind of regret, where I went wrong
For a cold wind blows
Through body and through soul
When the light and the love of your dreams just fades away
A prayer and a plea
For to be released
Yes, to sing such golden hymns
Through fire and flood and back again
To not see, yet still believe
Ah to sleep! Perchance to dream!
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, darlin', I don't know
