Hesitation as I walk through the door
Will she look as beautiful as before
She's become the lady of perpetual sorrow
And as a child I cannot fathom anymore
My skin, my blood, so cold on the floor
To say goodbye now means forevermore

Lady of perpetual sorrow
I had hoped to see you here again

With your stories in my mind
I could dream all through the night
But when the story is of you
I look death right in the eyes

A neverending state of mind
Not willing to cross the line
To nevermore come home again
I'm resting here hoping to feel fine
