Lyrics
Verse 1:
I've walked these streets before
Years pass and they never change
Faces from now and then
Sorrow ruins this joyous day
Chorus:
Here I stand, so cold, so cold
Memories like raindrops
They fall on my shoulders
What I'd give for
Someone to hold
Verse 2:
My sanctuary from the world around
My home built around my sorrow
Rain pours down on my soul
Not one life left to borrow
(chorus)
Bridge:
I dry up the tears that form in my eyes
A family sewn together, yet so far apart
Torn from the battles of yesterday
Memories that tear at my heart
(chorus)
