Trail of Tears
"Empty Room"

(Hansen, Nordhus. Lyrics: Nordhus)

Empty room
a lonely child
left to suffer

Empty room
and nightmare wild
Never forgotten

I never meant
to do you harm
And if I could reverse our story
I'd never dare

(Chorus:)
All alone
All alone
I think
and I shiver
What could have been
was never real
I think, and I think
and I shiver

Candles lit
and tearful eyes
But not dreaming
left to suffer

Candles lit
and strangled cries
Never forgotten

(Chorus)

I never meant
to ruin it all
And if I could reverse our story
I'd never dare
