Say my name when a tree susurrates Once and again telling a story lost in time the way it starts and the way it ends Never again making up stories in dismay With several starts, but just one end Ah, how I long to embrace The future breaking out of shades from the past Save your tears for the day so far away To irrigate the wilderness that’s still asleep In the world waiting to be lit To spread over the riverbeds so dry and dead Let ships that ran aground re-launch their sails Ah, how I long to embrace The future breaking out of shades from the past Seeds bear new life when flowers dare to fade Shaking off all the dust from the past New stories have yet to start |
