Starry Night

All alone on a starry night, was I

Not like I had none before

Longing for your arms around, was I

Waiting for you at the door.

My heart said it was hard

To learn that you left me

And then fell apart

Broken in anguish to be.

Love, it was, never a joke

Being with you was better than dope

Now I'm made to carry this yoke

All in vain and no hope.

All alone on a starry night, again

I stand - wiping my tears - bold

Your love shall I never regain

Your hands shall I never hold.
