Dance Of Misery

Walk this walk of despair
Dance this dance of misery
Sing this song of sadness
Live this life of loneliness

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walk with me on this journey of adventure.
Dance with me to these serenading love songs.
Sing with me this joy from the overture.
Because there's so much in life to live for,
now that you are here.

But I let you go and watched you walk away.
Our dance together seemed such a long time ago.
The night wind now sings this hurting love song.
I never knew how miserable life can become,
until you showed me a vision of how beautiful it is with you.

Now I walk this walk of despair,
and dance this dance of misery.
Sing only love songs of sadness,
and live this life forever in loneliness.
Because it is with this life that you have left behind,
that, together with forever, I will wait for your return.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm walking, wandering, hoping this road will lead me to you,
somehow.
I'm dancing, alone, hoping you would come and take my hand,
and ask me to rest.
I'm singing, losing my voice, hoping you will hear my calling you,
and catch me as I fall.
I'm living, tiredly living, just hoping to see you again one day,
and one day, again, you will see me too.

So for now,
I'll walk this walk of despair,
and dance the dance of misery.
