The drumming on the roof
Grows from a whisper to a loud roar
Wash away everything 
Please God, wash it away

The bed is chilly
I am in it alone but there is someone in it with me
But our fire washed away long ago
And I don’t want to sleep

I want to think of you 
My mystery lover
We have never met, never spoken 
But we have written 

And the things you’ve written 
Made me feel like I’ve always wanted to feel
Desired, special, someone worthy of a great love
And I made you my own

We went deep into the abyss
We made love, we gave love 
We went together on that dark journey 
We loved each other deeply, I hoped forever

Then you left, out of the blue
The reasons make sense
In fact, I’m happy for you
But I struggle, each and every day 

I am in my bed, forever alone
The one next to me hasn’t a clue
Has never tried to know me
I have nothing left to give her

Should I try again
It seems like just too much effort
Trying to replace you, my love
Seems like a fool's errand 

Who can fill the hole in my heart
I think only you can
But your heart is elsewhere 
Gone from me now

The rain still falls, the bed is still cold 
And I have no one to cuddle with
No one,

To hold
