Bring back those days
When you ran like quicksilver
Through my heart
Those nights when we sat close together
To watch the stars go by
Waiting for the dawn to rise
The caressing sheets
We lay beneath
All those springs and summers
With restless seas and amber skies
Wrapped up in all our desires
Now in the silence where I live
A voyager on an ocean of longing
I feel the infinite hours slip by
Since you left so long ago
Watching the stars
And waiting still
For another dawn to rise
For you and I
