Death of Love
(A Mournful Country Ballad)
Verse 1:
The wind it howls through the hollow tonight,
As I walk this lonesome road,
With a rose in my hand and a heart full of pain,
To the place where your name is carved in stone.
The moon shines down on your resting place,
Casting shadows on my tears,
I whisper your name to the cold, dark ground,
But there's no answer here.
Chorus:
In the death of love, I'm all alone,
With a broken heart carved out of stone.
I see your face in the pale moon's light,
But you're just a memory in the night.
I sing to you by your grave so cold,
In the death of love, I'm growing old.
Verse 2:
I still remember that summer day,
When you slipped away from me,
A sickness took you far too soon,
Left me lost in misery.
Now I walk this path where the wildflowers grow,
Where the grass has turned to gray,
I bring you roses, but they wither fast,
Like the love that faded away.
Chorus:
In the death of love, I'm all alone,
With a broken heart carved out of stone.
I see your face in the pale moon's light,
But you're just a memory in the night.
I sing to you by your grave so cold,
In the death of love, I'm growing old.
Bridge:
I hear the church bells in the distance ring,
But they sound so far from here,
Your voice is gone, but it lingers on,
In every silent tear.
And I'll keep coming back to this lonely place,
Until the day I die,
For in the death of love, I'll always find,
A piece of you, and I.
Chorus:
In the death of love, I'm all alone,
With a broken heart carved out of stone.
I see your face in the pale moon's light,
But you're just a memory in the night.
I sing to you by your grave so cold,
In the death of love, I'm growing old.
Outro:
In the death of love, I'm growing old,
With your memory, I'll never let go.
