I Couldn'T Help You

I couldn't help you, crying in your shadows, I couldn't reach you, walled in distant canyons, nighthawks soar in grey moonlight, eyeless blind to inner sight, I couldn't hear you, shouts lost in wind, I couldn't see you, swallowed by faceless crowds, can love be there for hearts alone, soft music drown that desperate moan? I will wait here, silent on our hill, I will hope here, face turned up and to the west, if courage pays the mortal's toll, will fates reward the patient soul?
