Haunted Lyrics

Deep as the wind in forest gloom
Cold as the stream racing by
Lonely as the mountains which rear
O'er this scene of sorrow drear

These are the hearts that are broken
Lifeless, the burden they bring to me
One last kiss 'pon her fair cheek
They turn to leave, though haunted they will be
As the years march on

One comes, then turns away
Two more appear on a winter's day
One comes in summer, lingering
This one is moved, shedding a tear
Sensing the weight of long years flown
He turns to leave, haunted he will be As the years march on

"Watch over me
Send me an angel
To keep me safe
Wolves ever prowl
Just beyond vision
Beyond the stillness
Beyond our longing"
Here I will wait out the years

Once I tried to reach out and touch
For a moment one child could see
Standing in lonely splendour she saw
One sublime who waits for all time

Till the ending of sorrows
She turns to leave though haunted she will be
As the years march on
As the years march on
