So many miles had passed The ride is over now The open wound still burned The flags were tied and tight A homegirl's wait for him A quite high hope to die old Were thoughts of agelong nights That played along with him Sitting at the threshold She was waiting for him In her bright look he groped For a safe landing place Death came around and wore her eyes She stared at him with her stone-cold gaze Death came around with the eyes of his true love He saw his face in a steamed up glass Feeling the kiss of her frozen lips Why do you stare at me he said Why do you take me only now With no trace of reason When leaving is more painful You coming is unfair I gave you everything in life My daily prayers and fevers Insomnia and tears and blood And now you returned to me All your inmost closeness Death came around and wore her eyes Her silence was like a wordless cry Death came around with the eyes of his true love Lethal and warm she strained hands to him Closing his eyes as he fell asleep
