I wanted to believe There was a river once In which all hearts were satisfied And where maybe even we Could have floated forever Underneath its cool and liquid stars But this is not true Time sends its ripples Through our tangled hearts And the night folding over - presses down And covers up our lives We have one colonial secret Which only the vagabonds pass In whispers Upon our unknowable paths We meet again We part We meet again We part While slowly the chains Drag in the sea Of our deep hearts.
