At First Light

Long before I opened up my eyes
I felt a heavy day was coming on
There outside my window leaden skies
Fill the space where once the sun had shone
The wind is howling though it's just a breeze
Bending me and all that's in its way
It breaks my will and brings me to my knees
Tells me I can't take another day

You're out of sight, not out of mind
Survived the night only to find
You're out of sight, not out of mind
You helped me see then robbed me blind

The summer's day now brings me winter's frost
The seasons are all one and time stands still
I search for something that has not been lost
To help me climb this neverending hill
I wander through a landscape cold and bare
Where all that I once knew had turned to stone
There is no living thing to hold me there
No voice to tell me I'm not alone

You're out of sight, not out of mind
Survived the night only to find
You're out of sight, not out of mind
You helped me see then robbed me blind
