My tears are lonely

Sometimes I just want to be alone and cry
Think of all the good things you did in your youth
Think of you when you were still young,
Lonely and sad.

My eyes cry lonely tears, gone too soon
Denying me the right to bury you, it would have been a dream come true.
Just when I thought I'm feeling cold in winter,
Your death couldn't make me warmer,
It made me colder.

It will take some time for me to smile
As my tears fall endlessly, and remain lonely.

I can no-longer give you any attention,
Cause you can no-longer hear me.
As dead as you are, my tears remain lonely
But I will not cry forever.
Heaven waits.

Love take me home

Take me back to where it all began
Take me back to the first of where we ran
Take me back to Africa, where I see the diverse culture's falling in love
With their beautiful difference's.
Although I sometimes want to be alone and celebrate you, my love,
I want to go home before I die.

This life of falling in love gives me ‘suicidal romance'
We've gone too far, let's go back.
It was back in Africa where I found you, ‘my love'
It is back in Africa where I want you to take me ‘my love'.

It was back in Africa where I wanted to make you my wife before I die.
The beauty of Africa reflected in your eyes, yet so dark and yet so far.
Although sometimes I want to be alone and celebrate you, ‘my love'
Please take me home before I die.
