A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast.
New sun ascends, with wedding of light,
But dusk dwells in me, and only night,
For my life's melody, a lost tone.
A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast.
The same bed, the same sheet, the same ghost of memory,
The same me, and same books, the same knitted wool to see
But a serpent now coils where solitude has been.
A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast.
Fairs abound, yet alone in the throng,
I stumble, lost, to whom do I belong?
New generations, fresh faces, new bottles, empty.
My need unheard, this heart, this gaze so empty.
A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast.
