Godot's orchestrated theme set to my original lyrics and sung by me. :)

=========================

I've always considered this song one of the most gorgeous musical pieces I've ever heard, so I wanted to try to write lyrics that reflected his story of pain and loss in an appropriate way. (I hope I succeeded!) I really do not do this beautiful song justice, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless.

Sidenote: This was recorded with my old mic before I got a good one, so quality isn't as great as I'd like...but if the echo bothers you, just pretend it's being sung in an open-mic jazz club. ;)

[[LYRICS:]]

The fragrance is dark, bitter

I feel all the sadness of the world

In my soul as I drink down the pain

I close my eyes and hear your voice out in the distance

I see your sweet face out in the rain

Seems so real

I just want to reach out and embrace you

Only if for a while

I flee to a memory

Of your arms around me

Of your smile, your beauty, your love

Cling to me now

Murmur my name as we walk hand in hand and

Release this pain in me

Your smile gave me strength, splendor

Your voice filled my heart with warmth and joy

When I met you, you lit up my world

You changed my life, showed me the beauty living around me

Never had I known what love meant until you

But you're gone

And nothing's the same without your presence

The color has drained away

How I miss your innocence

How I long for your tenderness

How I yearn for my world to return

Oh if only I could go back and be there when you needed me

Maybe you'd be here

[piano break]

The bitterness burns

Oh how I yearn

Scalding... Haunting...

Oh, can you feel it burn?

Everything's so meaningless

All the world's full of emptiness

Life exists only there in my dreams

Now I stand here

Wishing you'd somehow return to my arms

But the silence brings me back

I must move ahead

Even though you're gone

Even though fate's thrown me into a world full of grey
