Your parting words, words surround me, love's embrace
Shielding from sorrow, doubt soon fades
Promises whispered heart to heart on this starless night
A vision created and dreams a poor lover's plight`
A vision created and dreams a poor lover's plight
But for now my love my companion tears I shed
My comfort my solace groans I impart
My food only fragments of memories of this broken heart
How long have I waited but where is my love tonight
How long have I waited but where is my love tonight
My true love now I know you must leave me
Shield me from the sorrows of life
I'm calling yes I know you can hear me
Falling in a world without love
Receiving those words your letter to me of the pain
To know of your sorrow grieves me my sweet love where are you now
My sweet love where are you now
