Analysis of Somber
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
Sometimes I fear that Chloe's near
The end of hope in her,
I've felt that way so I can say
It makes life seem a blur.
She needs to fight both day and night
The thoughts that Satin gives
To her so she will always be
Depressed each day she lives.
She can't move on while hope is gone;
She must try to believe
That faith will bring a song to sing
Of how she can achieve.
