Seven Days

SEVEN DAYS

Seven days out on the road,
Staring at an empty seat.
Cruising long a vacant drive,
Burning in the city heat.

And seven days away
is seven days too long,
It's seven days of pain
seven days of mourning song.

A dying rose is dying love.
A diamond dreams of wedding bell.
Kisses oathes that will be broken.
And freedom just a slave to Hell.
-But its freedom on the road,
-Alone with falling tears.
-And seven days of crying,
-Will turn to seven years.

And seven days away
is seven days too long,
It's seven days of pain
seven days of mourning song.

Seven days away,
Too many fears turned true.
It's seven days too long,
Seven days without you...
-Without you...
