Loss Of A Daughter

I see you stand all alone in the meadow.

You cannot hear but I'm calling out your name.

I feel the wind like your breath

fall softly on my cheek.

I can feel it all, even in these walls so cold.

In the dawn I pray that you'll smile.

I still recall when we danced with the trees.

Now I lay beneath broken blue skies,

bleeding black and red.

I can do anything,

but without you

I lose my faith.

It was just the two of us together,

then I drove you away.

I changed, but I'm too late.

I lost my baby Rosalie.

I feel the call of my old addiction.

Feel the longing for a drink.

With every sip I'd hurt, then hurt you too.

I hurt Mommy too.

I hurt you both till she was through.

That's when I lost my faith -

lost my faith, lost my way.

It was just the two of us together,

then I drove you away.

I changed, but I'm too late.

I lost my baby Rosalie.
