If I lost you now, would I cry,
And hang my head forlorn and sad?
Would I greet each day in silence
And wipe each tear, each hopeless hope,
Wordlessly away until I slip into shadow?

If I lost you now, would I be sorry?
Would I slowly stumble on somehow?
Would I hide my eyes from this lonely life
If I lost you now?

Verse
Would the world go on regardless
And foreign runes of time pursued?
Love is his name and ever shall be
How could they know what I let go?
I'd beg the bitter end of days to swallow me whole.
