Alas my love
This time has come
Alas my love
All tides must break

and in my sullen
winter heart
This parting word
I fear to make
resistant in
an empty throat
Yet I know
it cannot wait

I have loved you
in all the depths
of an ocean carrying
such regrets
For I could not
in all these days
find just the way
to express

This painful love
I bear inside
The one I hide
for all my shame
For I am not
worthy of
your thoughts and
adoration's name

How can I tell
but the wind alone
for time has shown
no other can know

No matter the boast
of my simple word
Others find love
quite absurd

Yet here today
I sing this clear
without fear
I love you

Without doubt
unreasoned out
with seasons passing
I love you

Alas my love
I've held too long
Alas my love
At last breath
this song
