I In times of warmth when love and comfort Have cast their light upon my star, How is it that I to disappear And find myself again back where you Is it that home is only home with And how did you earn your house that name When judged by years it's new? My is not my home here just the same. And so I be happy as I must without you sugar tastes as dust.
II What sweetened I endure each day When after hour passes by And still I feel so far away From that I desire - yes, thee and I Yet is my sadness, for ere now, I never had after someone's touch Nor eyes, nor lips, nor hands, nor raven And I am missing almost too much. My paradox is I weep at this While being glad I have a to miss.
III Heartsick have I been long, long day is my disposition, yet I smile and try my best to away The pain, the life, the I can't forget am I for the ones I fool They ask for nothing save my And yet I cannot seem to the rule That sayeth once I love twice bound be Alas, I often slip and to them That far away my desires to go.
IV It seems a moment past I to the dulcet tone Of thy too far off at last But now I myself alone Yet, my closed, I am not so For my fingertips I feel your flesh, slow, And hold thy tongue between my Past how forlorn it seems I'll to meet you in my dreams.
