I long to feel
your touch again
The way I did. And then I try
To contemplate what might have been
In autumn moonbeams, you and I;
But only see the night and day
When you were taken far away.
A bitter protest, lasting still,
Was not enough to make you care
And stay here at my side. Until
My heart, in anguish and despair,
Scorned the night and cursed the day
When you were taken far away.
A lifetime passed me by, and yet
I could not bring my heart to turn
Away from you and thus forget
The love we had. And then I learned
That I must conquer night and day,
And bring you back from far away.
And then it came, alas, too late,
I stood resolved, in love, to show
That I could bend my bitter fate
And reunite with you. And so
I've searched for you both night and day
Since you were taken far away.
