A girl who played the piano.

 

I met a girl who played the piano for me from a thousand miles away

I met a girl who touched my soul from way across the sea

But blind pride and ignorance took her away from me

And she is no longer mine, this cursed day

 

Raging against the dying of the light

Without even the strength to get up today

I'm trying blindly to find my way

Yet without her, nothing feels right

 

I met a girl who played the piano for me

I met a girl who made me smile

How I wish I could simply see her, if only for a little while

Please... please... Please let this be...?

 

Yet no reply comes, the angel a silent star

Only a silent sonnet still echoes in my mind

Reminding me I've squandered the most precious find

Leaving me with only empty longing from afar.

 

Can you ever forgive me?
