The cage of love, now desolate,
The soul-bird flown, sealed by fate.
Come back, lost companion, come back,
Come back, for my heart's weary track.
Why did you turn from me and depart?
The cage of love, a hollow heart,
The soul-bird flown, tearing apart.
My peace now stolen, vanished from sight,
Tears bestowed, in darkest night.
A world of joy, a fleeting dream,
My slumber stolen, it would seem.
Love remains, a distant star,
The vast sky stretched, near and far,
A broken fate, a falling tear,
The cage of love, consumed by fear,
The soul-bird flown, no longer near.
Drowned, drowned, it all has sunk,
The garden new, forever sunk.
Stung, stung, the memory bites,
Stung by your ghost in darkened nights,
Drowned, the garden, ever gone,
Stung by your ghost, the break of dawn.
Left behind, my tear-filled eyes,
Leaving behind everything, under skies.
The cage of love, bereft and bare,
The soul-bird flown, a whispered prayer.
I remember you, with every breath,
Remember me, beyond the death.
You’ve made the world a desolate place,
Now, come and fill it with grace.
I am a sinking, fragile boat,
My only anchor, now remote,
The cage of love, in mournful plight,
The soul-bird flown, into the night.
The cage of love, forever gone,
The soul-bird flown, before the dawn.
Come back, lost companion, come near,
Come back, to quell my rising fear.
Why did you turn your face away?
The cage of love, where shadows play,
The soul-bird flown, and gone to stay.
