You Can't Measure the Cost

The silken skies that so remind and mesmerize
 And finally blind me
 The downy softness of herself forever lingering
 Behind me
 Never ever has there been
 Nor will ever be again
 One someone to give you love, tenderness and be
 Your friend
 Hanging on 'till the bitter end
 You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
 But it's a heavy loss indeed for those in need.
 I've tried to look inside myself
 To find the strength from which to draw from
 The view she saw from.
 Since she tried to go too deep
 Limitations brought her down
 And though I'd like to free her mind
 Visitations bring a frown
 I gotta find the place she found
 You can't measure the cost of a woman lost
 But it's a heavy loss to bear when she's not there.
 Where she is no one seems to know
 The silken skies have swallowed her up or so it seems.
 The morning mist that melts upon the meadow
 Brings a touch of sorrow
 The one I kissed is all alone
 And may or may not know tomorrow.
 Just an ordinary girl
 To the ordinary eye
 But so much deeper goes the vein
 Like the glittering of gold you want to touch
 Then you gotta hold
 You can't measure the cost of a woman lost.
