-3*-7* -7* -7* -7*
In one room deep gloom
-7* -8 -7* -7 -7* 8* -7* 7* -7*
Shel-ter-ing her from joys she once knew
7* 7* -6* 7* -7* -6* -5*
There sits a lone-ly wom-an
-6* -6 -6* -6 -5* -3* -6
Be-liev-ing her life is through
5* -5 8* -8 8* -7* -3*
Though she once lived for laugh-ter
-7* -7* -7* -7*
Days bring no spring
-7* -8 -7* -7 -7* 8* -7* 7* -7*
Win-ter is here to stay for a while
7* 7* -6* 7* -7* -6* -5*
Too drained of tears for cry-ing
-6* -6 -5* 5* -3* -6
She’s too a-lone to smile
8* -7* -7* -6* -6* -5
Long-ing for her lov-er
-10 9* 9* -7* -7* -6*
Wish that I could tell her
-9* -8 7* 6 -5*
Griev-ing too can pass
5* 5 5* -6* 5* -5 8*
And so this mood soon will lift
-8 8* -7* 7* -7* -7* -7* -7*
Like a veil then some day she’ll stray
-7* -8 -7* -7 -7* 8* -7* 7* -7*
Far from the som-ber world of the past
7* 7* -6* 7* -7* -6* -5*
No more a lone-ly wom-an
-6* -6 -6* -5* 5* -3* -6
She’ll fol-low the sun at last
