Ballad For A Loner

In the quiet of the morning, shadows fade away Dreams of yesteryears linger, as night turns into day Wanderer of memories, with heart so full of pain Lost in echoes of the past, seeking love in vain Oh, the lonely heart, beating in the dark Searching for a spark, a place to belong In the silence of the night, whispers take their flight A ballad for a loner, in a world so wide Faces in the window, stories left untold A life caught between pages, young and then so old Betrayed by time and distance, haunted by a name Love that slipped through his hands, leaving only shame Oh, the lonely heart, beating in the dark Searching for a spark, a place to belong In the silence of the night, whispers take their flight A ballad for a loner, in a world so wide Wounds that never heal, scars that never fade In the mirror of his soul, reflections slowly shade But hope still burns within, a flame that won't give in A quest to find a place where his story can begin Oh, the lonely heart, beating in the dark Searching for a spark, a place to belong In the silence of the night, whispers take their flight A ballad for a loner, in a world so wide In the end, we're all just seekers, on this journey so unknown Finding solace in the music, and the places we call home A ballad for the dreamers, for the broken and the strong In this symphony of life, we find where we belong.
