It's been seven weary nights
That my love has been gone
I'm beyond tears, beyond cries
Beyond weak and beyond strong
Forty days he lay asleeping
Fought a fight that wasn't won
It's been seven weary nights
That my love has been gone
And I cannot find rest
Thoughts torment me day and night
There was no time for embracing
For last words and for goodbye
Did he know how much I love him?
That he was my heart's delight?
Thus I cannot find rest
Thoughts torment me day and night
I will wander to a far off place now
Do not cry and do no mourn
There's a new path for me that awaits now
to reach a distant shore
In the seventh wary night
I had the strangest dream
I was walking by the seaside
On a ship I spotted him
I knew well that I was dreaming
And I saw him there so clear
In the seventh wary night
I had the stranges dream
We walked side by side
Down the shore a little while
And the answered all my qestions
Some with words, some with a smile
And his steps were light and graceful
Not a trace of his last trial
As we walked side by side
Down the shore a lite while
I will wander to a far off place now
Do not cry and do no mourn
There's a new path for me that awaits now
to reach a distant shore
When I saw the dream was fading
In the sevent wary night
I pulled him to my heart
And embraced him for goodbye
"Yes I know how much you loved me
and you are my heart's delight"
I woke up with the dawning
and my tears they had dried
I will wander to a far off place now
Do not cry and do no mourn
There's a new path for me that awaits now
to reach a distant shore
