When There's No One

When there's no one

There is darkness

All the light that used to shine

That once was mine

No longer glows

And there is no sun

When there's no one

When the song dies

There is silence

When the tune that filled my days

No longer plays

The room is still

And I hear long sighs

When the song dies

Was I so foolish to think I could pray

When there's only one chance I can save you?

I gave you life, I can take it away

Let the shadows descend like a knife

But when I am all alone

Will I cry "Carrie?"

Oh, my Carrie!

Who will hold me

When there's no one?

When the smiles I used to see

Are not for me

What will I do?

Nobody's told me

Who will hold me

There is no sun

When there's no one
