tried to find you to say goodbye

tired to find you to say goodbye
i've got the feeling i won't be around much longer
on into the night, they couldn't hear me whisper
stories of how much i will miss them

a cry goes unheard
a candle blows out
and the smoke in your eyes
the only reason for tears
on into the night, you never hear me whisper

you won't notice that i've left the door open
(for others will follow in as i go)
until the snow falls in with my passing
and you'll sweep out my memories
with the soft, frozen glow

and on into the night you could feel me screaming
and still you stood idley by
no longer of use and certainly,
no longer use for you

the cry goes unanswered
but most certainly heard
and a heart stops beating for you

tried to find you to say goodbye
left to yourself in your hiding
locked doors and cold blankets
left behind in the season
of what was once its begining
