In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn, my only delight
War-torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic, imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails in a wave of forgiveness on angels' wings
Reach out your hands, don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you till the last beat of my heart
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks these words in shadow play
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
“Don't walk away”
Reach out your hands, I'm just a step away
