Lyrics
Things Are OK
Shadows growing longer
While the daylight fades away
I see my reflection in the window
As the sunshine leaves the day
Coldness wraps around me
As I think of yesterday
Though I seek my way back home
There's mountains in my way
Chorus:
I long to hold you so near me
To know things are ok
But I can't find the strength to climb
And no torch to light my way
I dream of Summer weather
Of how we used to play
The time we spent together
Of all the things we'd say
But darkness deep surrounds me
It's here it seems I'll stay
Though I seek my way back home
There's mountains in my way
Chorus:
I long to hold you so near me
To know things are ok
But I can't find the strength to climb
And no torch to light my way
Somewhere in the night time
Your smile lights up a spark
The tiny flame grows brighter
Removes me from the dark
Then in my mind a picture
Of what we used to be
I must find my way back home
If you can't come to me
Chorus:
I long to hold you so near me
To know things are ok
And I must find the strength to climb
The mountains in my way
I long to hold you so near me
To know things are ok
And I must find the strength to climb
I will find the strength to climb
With your smile to light my way
