Promise (Part 2) -

«Hope is all I have!»

He called out over his shoulder

To noone at all

Lost in the wind went the word

Never heard by the one

Over and on

He sang to the silence at night

An answer would never come

(He hoped for… longed)

Till caught on the wind came the word

A whisper, the wilful:

«Come home.»

Over and gone

She waited

(He would travel far to find her

Finally she breathed her answer…)

Over and gone

A promise kept is all that’s left

Nothing changes

Over and on

Over and gone, she…

Over and on

Over and gone…

He sang his own funeral pyre

Eyes lost in the last breath of fire

Caught in spider-web family ties

Lost in dreams of a child with her eyes

Over and gone

She waited

(He would travel far to find her

Finally she breathed her answer…)

Come to me, my softest memory

My sweetest mistake

Eyes open… please wait…

Don’t fade…

Wait for me

A promise kept is all that’s left

So by the window she waits

Singing
