Night Comes So Early This Time Of Heart

Night come so early
          this time of heart
and lasts interminably long,
I'm lost in the darkness
          without you
each way I turn is wrong;
It leads to a memory
          forgotten
packed and bundled away,
layered over with sunshine,
at peace with the busy day.
Come night and the memories haunt me,
          I'm flooded with old desires,
my mind is a raging inferno,
a sea of forgotten fires.

The day
          passes by so quickly
I'm busy with work and song,
but the night comes so early
          my darling
and lasts so interminably long.
