T Bone Burnett - Here Lies Love lyrics

Night winds, cold and melancholy Wave a blue finale for my tragedy Life's a misery meant only for me While I linger, weary, 'neath a willow tree Right here our romance was started Here again we parted when I set you free All my thoughts are jumbled, everything is blurred All the world has crumbled, shattered by word The end has come, my heart is numb 'Twas like a bolt from the blue above I can't believe it but you're gone, darling And here lies love The sky is dark and I hear a lark He sounds as sad as a mournful dove The dew appears like the tears of dawn, darling And here lies love All my dreams lost beyond recall Dreams of spring blasted by the fall You gave lips, you gave arms I gave all I ought to cry, my eyes are dry There's only one thing I'm conscious of I only know that I can't go on, darling For here lies love All my dreams lost beyond recall Dreams of spring blasted in the fall You gave lips, you gave arms I gave all I ought to cry, my eyes are dry There's only one thing I'm conscious of I only know that I can't go on, darling For here lies love
