i lost my father to the cancergrave
this cruelmad illness ate his strength and soul
until it left into my life a hole
just like a substitute i wear his name

tonight i grieve for you
tonight i count the stars
tonight has touched my scars
tonight i dream of you

my brother lost himself in smoky pubs
his heart was sick the glass was only cure
i think into myself i'm almost sure
i'd had a sister she would drown in drugs

tonight i grieve for you...

i lost a yellow house with stony fence
the home i left because i wanted more
and day ago i closed my childhood door
the place that used to give me warm defence

tonight i grieve for you...

and you i lost at windy night we kissed
i couldn't keep you as a friend of mine
took off the shoes we crossed forbidden line
'cause something stayed unseen and something missed

tonight i grieve for you...

tonight i grieve for you...
