I’ve only just arrived
and we’ve surrendered to time,
forfeiting our lives
to present moment a crime
Distance the traveler’s curse,
separation the test;
the lonesome heart bursts
through the wanderer’s chest
I’ll brave the loveless trips, oh
the future envelops me
You are my Athena, my Calypso,
my sweetest Penelope

I’ve only just arrived
and we’ve surrendered to time,
forfeiting our lives
to present moment a crime
Distance the traveler’s curse,
separation the test;
the lonesome heart bursts
through the wanderer’s chest
I’ll brave the loveless trips, oh
the future envelops me
You are my Athena, my Calypso,
my sweetest Penelope
