I thought my heart was cold Lyrics

I thought my heart was cold, my passion stent

But angry flames have ceased their discontent I thought that friendship's guided a steady

Start Had led me safely through life's stormy bar

I thought to rest near faithful, friendly shores

To watch from far and point with weary hand To shipwreck sailors tossed by angry roars

And say how blessed, how blessed is he who's planned

A life so free, so fair, so sweet and pure Whose days like spring were bright and ever

New Who's never known love's pain or the cure

Nor felt love's change or love's consuming hue

How blessed, yet I am blinder blessed This tree

I've broken free from love's relentless hold I'm back with friends I'm free, sky is blue

And life's dark fields where joy are now controlled

But what I said was false, alas, I fear For just a moment I was low to rest

Dark love still lingered deep within my breast My passionate fire burned so very near

Invited to a party with my crew I tried to strum my line with youthful greed

To sing of lovely ladies, gods anew Of joy, of backers, and of delphi

In vain my hand lay limp upon the string I couldn't play, my heart was filled with strife

I burned with passion yet I couldn't sing I watched the games of youth from distant life

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh love, the poison of our days depart With all your foolish dreams and empty lives

Don't set my soul on fire, break my heart Extinguish all these flames that in me rise

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
