In one room deep gloom
Sheltering her from joys she once knew
There sits a lonely woman
Believing her life is through
Though she once lived for laughter
Days bring no spring
Winter is here to stay for a while
Too drained of tears for crying
She’s too alone to smile
Longing for her lover
Wish that I could tell her
Grieving too can pass and so this mood
Soon will lift like a veil
Some day, she’ll stray
Far from the somber world of the past
No more a lonely woman
She’ll follow the sun at last
Sheltering her from joys she once knew
There sits a lonely woman
Believing her life is through
Though she once lived for laughter
Days bring no spring
Winter is here to stay for a while
Too drained of tears for crying
She’s too alone to smile
Longing for her lover
Wish that I could tell her
Grieving too can pass and so this mood
Soon will lift like a veil
Some day, she’ll stray
Far from the somber world of the past
No more a lonely woman
She’ll follow the sun at last
