With tears in your eyes, you held my hand
And in a trembling voice, you said to me
You'll love me always in the distant land
Where for long years you now must flee.

We kissed goodbye, and with that kiss
My heart went out once more
To be with you in mem'ries bliss
In daydreams of before

I went through every day alone
Your ship had sailed from me
A month, and then a year has gone
Yet love won't set me free

The dove came warbling in the night
And in my heart, a hope
Roared like a flame of passion bright
With weakness suddenly I couldn't cope...

My trembling hands unrolled the scroll
And then my heart knew pain
In pleasant words and crafty scrawl
Betrayal's words were plain


You promised me undying love
My life I bound to thee
And now this message from the dove
Set all my anguish free

What can I do, oh treacherous love?
When you'd not last a year?
Will lightining strike me from above
Death's comfort growing dear?

No, I will not give you that joy
I'll wait for your return
The truth's harsh words my heart's alloy
Till then, my love will burn.

Shall I betray you too? I may
Your actions set me free
Free once again to love, I pray...
If I could forget thee.

A hope against all hope still rests
Despite the cruel fate's words
For while your heart beats in my breast
I won't break our love's cords.



To someone who left me behind... if your betrayal is true our ways must
part..
but always my heart will love you.
