And you whispered that you loved me in a soft impassioned tone
While the sea in all its glory murmured slow and deep of danger
In a voice that broke in waves of sand & foam
"We could sail upon this sea of love before us
Without fear of shipwreck," said I in a soft impassioned tone
But a shallow sea is love that drains itself for want of filling
As the castaways are tumbled on the stones
All I wanted was to never be alone
All I wanted was to never be alone
But now I stand upon the end of land and ocean where you left me
As the midnight tides will sweep away my bones
By the moonlight in the midnight starry darkness
I had whispered that I loved you in a soft impassioned tone
As the earth beneath us fell away in precipice and echo
In a voice that rang with depth and height unknown
"We could soar upon the heaven that would take us
Without fear of falling," said I in a soft impassioned tone
But the cruel chain that binds us to the grass and rocks will keep us
With our spirits longing for their astral home
All I wanted was to never be alone
All I wanted was to never be alone
But now I stand upon the end of land and heaven where you left me
As the canyon wind will lift away my bones
All of Life we set before us as a witness
As we whispered each "I love you" in a soft impassioned tone
But the cold indifferent Universe, unfolding ever outward
Never shook nor even trembled at the sound
"I will give you all my heart and soul as fortune
Without fear of its loss," said I in a soft impassioned tone
But those thieves, Desire and Loneliness, made off with my possessions
Given leave to enter into heart and home
All I wanted was to never be alone
All I wanted was to never be alone
But now I wait upon the end of life and death where you have left me
For Eternity to carry off my bones
