lyrics

THE UNINVITED GUEST

What will I do if the dead do not sleep
Not content to be memories we keep
The wind delivers a rainy night
And a guest from far away
Unhappy in the earth where no one hears you weep.

How can I look at the eyes that stare
And watch from the grave with evil to share
Leaves on the porch fly to the shadows in the yard
Chased by the cold wind that blows your hair.

Can I bear to turn and see that face
The icy smile that's hidden from God's good grace
To let these cold fingers lightly touch my neck
Where once there was love, now terror takes its place.

Why should I still have a heart in my breast
Night is born in the east and day dies in the west
Long in the night I will beg for the sun
As I share my flickering fire with an uninvited guest.
