If Only You Could

In cold winter eve, in windy autumn night
In rainy fog, in calling song of sunrise
Reflecting in dark mirror with candle light
I’m always near when you need me

In a song for a heart, in a song of a feel
In pure touch of faith, in kiss of dream
I bear a dearest hope deep within

Being so far pain embraces my heart
Shadow of cold fear coiling around my chest
Covering my shoulders like a dark veil
I wonder if you ever saw deep longing of me

Through the cold winter morn
With frozen pale dawn
I will come to warm you
Through the wind and rain
Through the tears of fear
I will come if you need me

I will come if you need me
I will kiss the bleeding dawn
For you, my dearest heart
I will flow through this dream
I will kill the breaking cold
For you, my kindest heart

In cold dust of vanishing dream
In withering memory’s tear
Only my life I could endure
To a child’s heart forever so pure
If only you need me, my dear
If only you need me, my love
