Empty space

[song]

There’s an empty space
in that hidden place
where
love used to be

a void in my heart
as if a part of me
is stolen

& I’m missing
something undefined
a recurring line

a song I’d long
forgotten.

A thousand times
we tried to solve
the riddle

but this bitter spring
has scoured a ring
of frost

around my heart

& I know somewhere
way out there you’re
missing me


et je sais
tu me manques

oui tu vas me
manquer

It cost you dear
to set me free
it broke your heart
to let me be;

in another life
we’d have had
the time
to heal this.

I’ve a wedding dress
in a silver bag
two golden rings
& the hope I kept

that love would win
that I’d let you in
that this might be

forever

There’s an empty space
in that sacred place
where
love used to be,

& time stands still
like I’ve lost a tune
like a waking dream
like we never were

together.

It cost you dear
to set me free
it broke your heart
to let me be


et je sais
tu me manques

oui tu vas me
manquer, chéri
