Analysis of Eighteen Years



When we lost you my world stopped
all that flowed were tears
When we lost you i cried rivers
and have for eighteen years
When we lost you my search began
all i found were fears
When we lost you i grew weary
been tired for eighteen years
When we lost you my light faded
and so the vacuum nears
When we lost you i ran empty
stood still for eighteen years
When we lost you my dream came
and slowly the past clears
When we lost you,you were six
been lost for eighteen years
