I stumbled, I fell along the way
And didn’t notice your pain
Trying to catch myself

When I did it seemed too late
As if I couldn’t rise again
And walk next to you

And so I stumbled further
Along crooked highways
Where hollow philosophies tripped me

Then I sought a subtler path,
A fool traveling old roads
Hoping that I might find you there

But mine was a hopeless odyssey
Leading down blind alleys
No map could ever trace

Where, when I called your name
I heard only empty echoes
That scarcely reached my ears

Like the lonely siren’s call
That lures me to that sacred shore
Where we once walked before the fall
