The emotions you can have when something very sad happens, were the inspiration for this song. The melody though is less sad than the lyrics .

Lyrics:
Forlorn
(c) HWBerkhout, april 2019

Can I find words to make you feel at ease?
Is there a place that gives you peace?
I heard you whisper about us in the past
Your voice so softly, but I got it at last

Is there a song you would love to hear?
And will it take away your fear?
I heard you sobbing for what you foresee
'cause time has no mercy, you soon leave me

How come that live will never last?
What does it matter when we meet our past?
Where are the answers if there's nothing to say?
So, what will matters at the end of our day?

Is there a time we can meet again?
I hope you wave if you see me then
I can't see you're moving, nor hear your voice
You are now ready, You made your choice

How come that thoughts refused to stay?
What does it matter anyway?
We're only tourists. We never stay
So, what will matters at the end of our day?

Solo

Your spirit left when Time enters our door
Only tears keep runing, while you no more
Then I could not contain
Time always reign

How come that thoughts always fly away?
What does it matter anyway?
Where are the answers when words refused to stay?
But will it matters at the end of our day?

Where are the answers
when words fly away
Only memories
last longer, they say

Forlorn

I compose songs, write lyrics and sing most of them. I don't have  'one'  style. It depends on my mood or on certain issues that are going on in our world. AND some listeners can even tell which songs are genuine 'Birchwood-songs' (!)
