MEANTIME

MEANTIME

Far away, far away,

        Far away from here...

There is no worry after joy

        Or away from fear

Far away from here.

Her lips were not very red,

        Nor her hair quite gold.

Her hands played with rings.

        She did not let me hold

Her hands playing with gold.

She is something past,

        Far away from pain.

Joy can touch her not, nor hope

        Enter her domain,

        Neither love in vain.

Perhaps at some day beyond

        Shadows and light

She will think of me and make

        All me a delight

        All away from sight.

s.d.
