Nothing Left


There's nothing here for me now
The revels concluded hours ago
The journey is over, the homecoming's done
And now I have nowhere to go

There's nothing left for me there
My friends are all dead and gone
The songs they once sung are silent
Leaving me to remember, alone

There's nothing I couldn't do
With their blessing and their strength
They gave me a purpose beyond my own self
And for them, I'd go to all lengths

There's nothing I wouldn't give
Or haven't, from the start
So when the journey's over, the leavetaking done
They might remain in my heart

There's nothing left for me here
So it won't matter where I go
When the night is over, the fears have passed
I will leave like I did long ago

There's nothing left in me to love
It died with her in the night
Perhaps she is waiting and longing for me
Waiting, for my soul to take flight

There's nothing left of my life
The good days have all been lived
The laughing and loving and being are done
Now I have nothing more I can give

There's nothing remaining to see
It's all over and complete
Now I have friends who are waiting for me
I should hasten on 'till we meet

There's nothing left for me here
The revels are over and done
The journey is over, the homecoming through
And still I remain, all alone

The journey is over, the leavetaking done
And yet I remain, on my own.

My love is sundered, my soul is not here
But I linger still, all alone...

Always, forever alone.
