So Long, My Love — Lyriel — Paranoid Circus

And the night that you left me

Was the dawn of a warm, wonderful summer day

Promised roses and sunshine

Washing anger and heartaches away

So I opened the door

Let the sun, in his grace clear the dust all around

And in shimmery light I could see

All the trash and the waste on the ground

The picture of us

Fell off the wall when you bashed the door

I changed the glass

Hung it up once more

I remember a time when a kiss could heal the world’s disdain

I’ll miss the bliss we had

I’ll miss the pain

So long, my love

The porcelain vase you broke in a fight

I found every shard and I fixed it quite right

Then I saw the windows

Misty with spite that I threw

All the years, now and then

Over things I don’t even know

And I see I was wrong

And I’m willing to gather those tears

That I cried and I wash the dead panes

Till again they are bright

And you see I am sorry and it wasn’t all right

A last twist with the broom, crossways the room

Then I looked at my work and here’s what I saw

It’s the room that we shared for so long

All the good, all the bad times in here

Though you left with half of it

There is still enough memory to bear

But I burnished and furnished

Mend what was broken, repaired furniture

I arranged everything perfectly

My last gift to the treasure we are

It’s the key with your name

I wear on a string by my heart

When I know it is there

We’re not so far apart

I remember a time when a kiss could heal the world’s disdain

I’ll miss the bliss we had

I’ll miss the pain

So long, my love

It’s the key with your name

I wear on a string by my heart

When I know it is there

We’re not so far apart

I have to leave

Lock the room for it was not meant to be

But I hope one day you’ll visit it with me

So long, my love
