'm as empty as the air Weighing too hard for me to bear I'm as free as the birds What such freedom could be wrapped in pains I'm as lonely as doom Still glooming; as happy as I could I hide from many moons It's thoughtless; but it's worth that I should Among my tranquility; there's one thing missing Give me a lip, and make me crave for a kiss.
I'm softer than the sea Holding nothing but all therein I'm as strong as a bridge So tender, so young, an unhappy king I strive to beat challenges Yet so poor, so battered are in my midst I admire flowers; the true art of nature Rendering in the hollow; was love I could fervour I admire butterflies and the birds in the skies Loving parrots and the errors of their speech I love nature and all that therein But there's one thing missing So soothing it is; the embrace of ladies.
I'm as happy as the dead Smiling so bright; such I could tame I love children; and the blood in their veins Their happiness, I say, was more bright than fair They crowded me; a story telling fiction They spoke to me; sounding waters from amazon Their crave for me; was more than I could pardon I loved little children; beyond compassion But there's something missing The one thing that had no meaning Give me your embrace, and forever are gone my pains.
I'm as emotional as nothing The true revelation of logic I loved a lady; the very appearance of magic She's as beautiful as beauty And as elegant as misery Her face made me happy And her thought made me mystery She was the one omnipresence Beyond the reality of my dreams Her name was magnamity The creation of my innate reality I love her; like I love nothing But there's one thing missing No, there's one thing missing Nothing can fulfill me Yes, nothing can fulfill me Not even the glory Absolutely, not even the glory Not even the glory of the wide world's riches.
Among my tranquility; there's one thing missing Give me a lip, and make me crave for a kiss. I love nature and all that therein But there's one thing missing So soothing it is; the embrace of ladies. The one thing that had no meaning Give me your embrace, and forever are gone my pains. But there's one thing missing No, there's one thing missing Nothing can fulfill me Yes, nothing can fulfill me Not even the glory Absolutely, not even the glory Not even the glory of the wide world's riches.
Dedicated to the lady of my thoughts; the children of my mind and the solitude of my flesh
