A sad song

A song on the lips,
Eyes rolled in,
The fingertips stray on the strings,

I play a sad song,

I pick on the notes,
The way it sings inside,
But thats alright
That was worth the fight,

So now i play a sad song,

But oh yes, the memories give me a way,
Its not the blue sky, its stony grey,
Snow flakes, all hardened and cold was the heart,
Yet it burnt and ashes wrote my part,
It was a bliss, yet painful and the latter prevailed,
I was to win but the hero finally failed,

Centuries after, on a wintery night, i wrote it all,
And played a song i forgot after that last call,
and my fingertips stray on the strings
i play a sad song...
for its been too long...
