I Think of You

Copyright 2009 by Stefan Bolz

When I want quietness
When I long to put my heart to rest
When I'm forsaken, forlorn, and far from home
When I reach the end of the road
And the bottom of the ocean floor

I think of you

When the sun's warmth evades me
When the flowers have lost their scent
When emptiness calls me
To live in its house
To call it friend

I think of you

When my dreams fade to darkness
When I long for a distant star
In the hour before dawn
In the dark night
When love seems nothing but an ancient scar

I think of you

When I have lost myself to fading dreams
Like the melting of a snowflake in the summer sun
When I am but a stranger in my house
When after I hear love's promise
I come undone

I think of you
