"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 answe)
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
