I heard you whisper it but I couldn't believe it
I'd spent my life without words, without a tone
I'll not linger in echoes of all that'll never be
Of a friendship's regrets found deep within
All the trials, inside, outside or even far gone
I've spent decades with a love unreturned
Able to say it, nude to the world, unredeemed
I am unashamed and wait in the dusk, dark
Early evening shadow cannot hide fire in me
I'd spent my life without words, without a tone
I'll not linger in echoes of all that'll never be
Of a friendship's regrets found deep within
All the trials, inside, outside or even far gone
I've spent decades with a love unreturned
Able to say it, nude to the world, unredeemed
I am unashamed and wait in the dusk, dark
Early evening shadow cannot hide fire in me
I am ready, let me burn
