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
