Were you there when
When my eyes burned with grief?
Were you there when
My heart was in my throat?

Were you there when
I longed to be with you?
Were you there when
I longed to pray with you?

Were you there when
I longed to know you?
Were you there when
No one else was?

Were you there?
Indeed you were not
And in lonliness I walked
My snowy path back home.

A painful outcry, well expressed.

Very nice, CD   It does paint a very emotional picture.  Wonderful expression.  I do hope that it is not you that is feeling such lonliness?

No indeed.  Lonliness has passed; this is a reminiscent of a time before - of someone I longed to know

So sad yet beautifully written

Cold hands means a warm heart
