Loss of a Loved One Lyrics

I told them how my wife had fallen into sickness
and to calling out her name with questions on her
tongue. We had always been so happy that at first
I wasn't sad because I thought my love could keep
her strong. But I never thought so wrongly for the
fever fought too strongly and it seemed she never
fought at all. Soon she died, and I despaired upon
the love seat we had shared so many times on
pleasant afternoons. I tried and tried to
understand why love itself could not command my
true love fromhe comas of her mind. Now, empty,
open and foreboding, stretching out like darkened
somehow stained with silence and with
fear. Death had brought its separation, giving me
an education of a dull and slowly drifting day. I
filled my emptiness with sorrow, taking what I
could not borrow fromhe friends I finally drove
away. "Yes, my life was nearly ruined, till I saw
what you were doing. Now I strive to keep on
serving you. Life is good but I am better, for I
feel at last I let her go because I finally found
the truth. Sadly now, I see the answer.
All her life she was a dancer,
but no one ever played the song she knew."
