The Lyrics
A very sad song :(
Spending time
Counting days gone by
I sit and wonder
Just what is my crime?
That I should be
Alone, just me
Waiting for
A love that cannot be
All this pain inside
Heart is undermined
Love unrequited
Twists the knife inside
And God makes not a sound
Like He’s not around
Promises broken
I’m alone in the crowd
Walking down a zyzzyx road
No love to behold
Have I gone astray
Is there no other way?
Cross I bear like lead
Tears like an ocean shed
Am helpless, paralyzed
So I lay down and die
Walther by my side…
Can’t help but wonder- WHY???
Bloodstains on the pillow dry
No one investigates the crime...
Counting days gone by
I sit and wonder
Just what is my crime?
That I should be
Alone, just me
Waiting for
A love that cannot be
All this pain inside
Heart is undermined
Love unrequited
Twists the knife inside
And God makes not a sound
Like He’s not around
Promises broken
I’m alone in the crowd
Walking down a zyzzyx road
No love to behold
Have I gone astray
Is there no other way?
Cross I bear like lead
Tears like an ocean shed
Am helpless, paralyzed
So I lay down and die
Walther by my side…
Can’t help but wonder- WHY???
Bloodstains on the pillow dry
No one investigates the crime...
"zyzzyx road" means a road that leads to nowhere; a road started, but never finished- a dead end.

This has been a week for laments of lost or failed love. Seems to bring out the best in poets and songwriters.
