When evening fell, I hid within your arms,
And now, if you should speak, how could I depart?
It seems you are the scent, the fragrance of you,
Above the sky, in worlds beyond,
Or on some earthly ground, I stand with you.
You are the reason, you are beauty bright,
Now never leave, never take flight.
The world moves on, a ceaseless chain,
I ran and ran, yet found no peace,
Life's work consumes me, day and rain,
Unfound, yet close, you're always near.
Such vistas, once a distant dream,
Beside me now, the feel of you, the thrill,
In this strange world, you never change,
The more I draw near, the more I crave,
You are the reason, you are beauty bright,
Now never leave, never take flight.
I understand nothing, know nothing true,
Though eyes are open wide, you are unseen,
To send you far, to misunderstand,
Are bonds, compulsions, forgetfulness' embrace.
You are my hope, my refuge and my stay,
Stay by my side, I pray.
How many secrets in your solitude reside,
You too desire I come close to you,
Before I'm lost, I find you near.
Joyful that the colors today are arrayed,
When two hearts meet, intertwined,
How wonderfully life begins to bloom anew.
You are the reason, you are beauty bright,
Now never leave, never take flight.
