Where Solitude Remains

I watch the clouds through my window,

sail across the sky

And underneath the canopy,

gulls, they wheel and glide

The shoreline stretches endlessly

along these windswept plains

I wander through this barren land

where solitude remains

I've made myself a universe

in this far-off home

Unseen from the outside world,

here I live and roam

And though I've tried assiduously

to heal the wounds with time

you'll haunt me in my memories until I die

If I should meet you after all these years,

how could I find the words?

I'd greet you with silence and with tears

for all the time we've lost

The days get shorter as weeks pass,

summer turns to fall

The birds will cease to sing and chant

and follow with the call

It's getting clearer and the truth

unsparingly reveals

I've drifted imperceptibly out to sea

If I should meet you after all these years,

how could I find the words?

I'd greet you with passion and with tears

for all the time we've lost

time lost
