Lyrics The Longing - Adastra

The Longing

Like a newborn child
Staring at the stars
I look at you
And wonder how
Someone can look so divine
We lay aside tonight
Alone in the dark
I drown in your eyes
And wonder how
Someone can look so divine
In love we tread
Hand in hand
On this velvet bed
You rest your head
Slowly closing your eyes
All that time that I knew you well
In a different world of love I dwelled
I was a fortress that nothing could break
I was more than someone could take
Drunk out of love every night we were
Passed out waking with a feel so real
The scent you bore was too much to take
You were more than I could take
Lie after lie, where did our feelings die
Day after day, you keep on fading away
Lie after lie, where did emotions die
Night after night, thinking was I right?
Remember the things that I used to say
Remember the things that got in our way
No one could stop us when we were on our way
They could’ve tried but never win
Out of the blue like a lightning strike
Came a conclusion of parting ways
Once this wheel of fortune started to roll around
There was no one who would block its path
Lie after lie, where did our feelings die
Day after day, you keep on fading away
Lie after lie, where did emotions die
Night after night, thinking was I right?
Into the open arms of night I cast myself
A leap into the dark that swallows me
Where on the way
Did you forget me?
Where on the way
Did I forget you?
Where on the way
Took the strangest turn
Where on the way
Did the road start to fade
Where did you go?
Where is the love
I am the loneliest man
Alive
Where did you go?
Where is the love
I am the loneliest man
Alive
Lie after lie, where did our feelings die
Day after day, you keep on fading away
Lie after lie, where did emotions die
Night after night, thinking was I right?
Like a newborn child
Staring at the stars
I look at you
And wonder how
Someone can look so divine
