Nobody Knows

A dear friend was very ill for a long time. Just when the illness was at its peak, and it seemed there was no hope, I wrote this song.

She's much better now, but no thanks to this!

A beautiful woman, and an ordinary man
On the road together to find the promised land
At first it was easy, they made jokes along the way
Climbing mountains together every day

Nobody knows the love that I have for you
Watching you grow, watching you grow
And day after day, the pain that I feel inside
Lets me go, It lets me go

The road got much harder, and we had to take more time
To cross the borders and diverging lines
Then you had to stop - I left you far behind
Leaving you standing was so unkind

Nobody knows the pain that I feel inside
Watching you fade, watching you fade
And day after day, the love that I felt for you
Drains away, it drains away
