lyrics: the blink of an eye – the blink of an eye

cd: The Blink of an Eye

track 3: The Blink of an Eye

The reasons are many, that I loved her fair
Her strength of conviction, her black raven hair
Her beauty so timeless, like an age that’s gone by
Like our love, in the blink of an eyeShe was one part a temptress, that led me astray
But a lover so gentle and kind was her way
She was so warm and giving, not one could deny
But then gone, in the blink of an eyeI kneel by her gravestone and pine for the day
That I’ll take my place by her side
Until then I must live, with the short time we had
It was gone, in the blink of an eyeI dream of our marriage that will now never be
The life and the passion, she had offered to me
As I wake the dreams fleeting, and as hard as I try
It’s gone in the blink of an eye

I wander in darkness through the streets of this town
Avoiding the lamplights, I keep my head down
And I curse at the heavens, and I beg to know why
She was lost in the blink of an eye

Chorus

There’s a cold desperation, in all that I see
May the fever that took her, come back to find me
Let it burn and consume me for a coward am I
Let me go in the blink of an eye

Chorus
