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 fears For all the time we've lost Time lost
