Weariness consumes me
Longing pursues me
Tremulous I fear
All i seek is near
Onwards with fear I go,
with fear I go
Sweet golden days are passing
Lost love everlasting
Wretched and torn apart
Bitter and broken of heart
Onwards with courage I go,
onwards I go
Spirit of life, live on, in me a friend
To guide me on, on to the end
Yet sure and slow
The years will pass, Adagio
Silently imploring
Hopelessly adoring
Yet my will is strong
Though fate decrees me wrong
Onwards with hope I go,
with hope I go
Greater griefs have found you
Now happiness surrounds you
I hold you here in my heart
Safe with me, never to part
Onwards forever I go, Adagio
Onwards I go
