it occurs to me
but there’s nothing to say
it occurs to me
but there’s no one to tell

the absence of those i love
missing persons from my life

it occurs to me
but i’m unable to share
it occurs to me
but only tears have fell

no mid-night cries to change
no foot-falls of joyous play
there’s no one to tell
only tears have fell

love is work, this i knew
love is pain, now i know this too

it occurs to me
no one here to hold
it occurs to me
left alone in the cold

missing persons please return
let once again passions burn
