Oh, alas, alas, a child's glance,
My heart, it knows no peace, never can.
Say only this, say: "You are mine,
No stranger here, no other line."
Oh, alas, alas, a child's glance,
My heart, it knows no peace, never can.
Say only this, say: "You are mine,
No stranger here, no other line."
Why do eyes fall, shy and slow,
Near, yet they never truly go?
Behold, how many forms reside,
All of flesh, side by side.
They walk along, forever bound,
Stop, and the moon and stars are found
To cease, to wait, just here and now.
Say only this, "You are mine, somehow,
No stranger here, no other vow."
Oh, alas, alas, a child's glance,
My heart, it knows no peace, never can.
Say only this…
Take an oath, when you depart,
You'll not make this poor heart start,
This heart now asks, desires unknown,
Desire, tell me, when will you be home?
It is here, just here, your love, my dear,
Then we will meet again, somewhere near.
Oh, alas, alas, a child's glance,
My heart, it knows no peace, never can.
Say only this, "You are mine, then,
No stranger here, no other pen."
