Lyrics

Candles flicker in the dark
A spark lights up a tear
On the lonely shadow that sits and stares
At a table for two but no one shares

Daylight has vanished in the west
No ray of sunshine is left
Silvery beams from the moon
Accentuate this lover's gloom

chorus:
Can you feel her heartbreak?
Can you hear the emptiness there
Every time she awakes?
Can you know the sorrow
That awaits her tomorrow
Empathize with her hollow ache
Can you feel her heartbreak?

A ring, a lift of the phone
But courage leaves to ask
Why he's not home
Still she rejects the message this sends
She'll admit when too late
Their love's at an end

Bridge:
She clings to a hope
That a time will return
For twilight bouquet of flowers
Dew at the dawn
