Solace for Pain

Help me when I'm sad and lonely

I would never do you harm

But this life is unfamiliar

I don't mean to cause alarm

If I were to put the big light out

Surely there would be an end?

If I were to face a new day

Surely I would need a friend?

Sir you do possess such kind eyes

Many are so vacant where

Ought to be a patient tenderness

I would take my refuge there

Sir you do possess such kind eyes

Like a saint in books of old

Painted with a hue of prophecy

Speak the fate we must behold:

When the swallow has flown

And the night is getting cold

Turn away from hopelessness

There'll be solace for your pain

Someday

Someday

Someday...
