I speak to you
Empty, you say
Staring at my words
That I so filled with me
You speak to me
Shallow, empty words
And I drink them in
And savor every one
Of them for themselves
And again
I speak to you
Nothing, you say
Nothing to my words
That I filled with me

Softly your words cross to me
And hard they strike me down.
Defeating me; my love,
Who I dream of,
Through green and yellow mists,
Never to return.

New dusks bring new dreams,
But you, my love,
Strike me down, never softly.
Again, green and yellow mists,
And you, my love,
Never to return.

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,

but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't
untie,
your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
