Within my heart, I smoldered, then turned to ash,
Bearing grief, always far.
Within my heart, I smoldered, then turned to ash,
Bearing grief, always far.
What ties remain to bind us, tell,
That I must stay so far away?
Within my heart, I smoldered, then turned to ash.
Whenever you looked upon me,
A storm raged, or silence reigned.
Whenever you looked upon me,
A storm raged, or silence reigned.
Though words may weep, unseen, unheard,
I hid my tears, always far.
Within my heart, I smoldered, then turned to ash,
Bearing grief, always far.
Within my heart, I smoldered, then turned to ash.
That glimpse of you, your fleeting presence,
Was more than I could bear to keep.
That glimpse of you, your fleeting presence,
Was more than I could bear to keep.
And now, in memory of you,
I wept, always far.
Within my heart, I smoldered, then turned to ash.
At the door of longing, I rejoiced,
That at last, I might be noticed.
At the door of longing, I rejoiced,
That at last, I might be noticed.
Who knows how I burned within myself,
Burning, burning, always far?
Within my heart, I smoldered, then turned to ash,
Bearing grief, always far.
What ties remain to bind us, tell,
That I must stay so far away?
Within my heart, I smoldered, then turned to ash.
