For Cecilia

Nights are long
Darkest days
The wind screams not tonight
Voices crying
The words are gone
But the meaning still remains
There's broken hearted people weeping
But I guess they're here to stay
Life has dug deep down inside
Since you went away
And nobody knows
What it's all about when the lights are out
But there's still a light that shines on you
You see, there's a man up there
Who takes the care of his children
To take your hand and hand with him

Time has come
We say goodbye
There's no hope in the world
Crowds of people
Standing by
Waiting all to see
The prayer of sadness
Never seems to help
To bring you back to me
Someday you just might say
You never really had nobody
But deep inside it's not the true
All in all the time has come
There's nothing we can do or be done
We'll meet again soon, some days
I've got to find a way
To bring you back someday
But only time will tell for around
We're gone and no place to hide
I've got every reason in this world to cry
That's why this song's for you
