DESIRE
So long I have been waiting for you
and nowhere I found good or comfort.
Somewhere was laughing, sweet and soft…
It’s all but grey sin without you.
Somewhere was laughing, just like you…
I do know that I could be glad,
if thinking of you wasn’t sad.
It’s all but grey sin without you.
Had my desire but the force
that I could draw you towards me.
Are these your dawning eyes I see?
Now, have I found your countenance?
… Somewhere was laughing, just like you…
It’s all but grey sin without you!
