Darkness failed to cool the summer night
The dying birds wept under starlight
when my barren Earth longed for their song the most
Alas, where were you then?
I was the silence of the thirst-fallen birds
drowning in salty rain
I was not far for I still felt your sorrow
Ne'er far, my love
...Then summer mornings turn to grey
Like sorrow fills my heart, a lifetime turned to grey
Like autumn leaves fall to the ground
Alas, where were you then?
I was the sorrow of fallen autumn leaves
dying upon the ground
I was not far for I called a new winter
Ne'er far, my love
