Again and Again
empty arms, empty heart, suddenly I’m all alone
on my own I have missed you, now this house is not a home
suitcase packed, Spain is calling
nothing here for me, no use in stalling
though days grow long, the memories still linger,
as I stare in silence at the gold ring ‘round my finger
and think of yesterday, when summer was our playground
the beach, the mountains, the carnival merry-go-round
jelly beans were caught, as we tossed them at each other
playing cards among the trees, as the moon above did hover
woke up early, went to church and knelt to pray
that this bad dream soon will end, although I’ve gone astray
as I drift along these thoughts, still complete inside my mind,
shackled by these strong emotions, I must rise and try to find
a reason to believe, that it was not a love in vain
the trials you put me through, in the end what did you gain?
now we both will start all over, again and again
where will it end? no one can say, no one knows when
but if by chance we meet again in some distant land
under a fiery red and windy sunset
I’ll clear my mind of all that’s passed
stretch out my hand for you to grasp
