I found you wandering in the night,
A star without a sky.
You made the embers of my heart burn bright.
Oh what a fool was I.

You were an angel then,
A bird of Paradise,
But your heart was colder,
Yes colder, much colder,
Your heart was colder than ice.

You saw me watching from afar,
A sky without a star.
I set your eyes alight.
Oh what a fool was I.

We were great lovers for a time,
Two no longer alone.
But your heart was harder,
Yes harder, much harder,
Your heart was harder than stone.
