One

 

I return to visit my love, quietly

I want the coldness of my heart to be taken away

I yearn for tenderness

to embrace the cold where warmth once stirred

            Time to step out of the rain

that rains in our hearts and weighs us down

Oh my love I will travel all night

            No one has held me for a long time

anxiety ever present

The truth:    dreaming is lonely

the further away     the closer to this one time

            No one has held me for so long

Days stitch and nights weave longing

Time watches over our loneliness

and regrets what's half lost

           We must and wait, dreaming

of the vision that inspires us

           The journey is the charm that brings us together

After this love will be eternal

           It's so long since anyone held me

Duty sent us down different paths

Missing you must end

Already my heart is full to the brim

           full of weary days spent apart

exposed to desire heavy with longing

I remember your warm embrace

           Each night in my dreams

once loneliness reached out and sundered closeness

yearning for time to pass

when sorrow would fade and cold would thaw

 

           Two

 

I leave my love so quietly

My ice-cold heart unchanged

Yet again in seach of tenderness

Oh, my love, how can I turn back time?
