Oh canyon deep
Oh mountain steep
Can anybody hear me weep?
I am but a shadow
I am but a speck
I am but a fleck
In the universe trek
My void is so big
So deep
So wide
It could swallow the universe
And have room inside
I weep for the child
I weep for the girl
I weep for the bride who beamed with pride
And when my tears are all dried up then
I breathe and sigh and weep again
For the dreams that were
For the promises made
For the vase that broke
For the smiling babe
I weep for what is and what was before
Just when I thought there was nothing more
That happiness is about to begin,
I breathe and sigh and weep again.
