My lady love lives far away,
and oh my heart is sad by day,
And ah my tears fall fast by night,
what may I do in such a plight.
Miles between us will not separate

I searched for you all my life,
and when I found you
then trouble

It seemed my blood escaped
and my life ran back from me
and my heart slipped into you
and now I wait...

If, after all, you still will doubt and fear me,
And think this heart to other loves will stray,
If I must swear, then, lovely doubter, hear me;
By every dream I have when you are away,

Don't ask of me if still I love,
Too plain these eyes have told you;
Too well their tears must prove
How near and dear I hold you.

If, where the brightest shine,
To see no form but you,

She's all I want and I am hers
body and spirit I am hers...
my essence has answered her cry
I shall worship her with no ending.

To hold her near is all I want
To be with her is all I need

I wait for you,
Always,
Wondering when you will wait for me.

You stray from my affections,
Wondering what adventures lie beyond my embrace.
Still,
I wait for you,

Tell me,
Where my eyes made to see your disappointment?
Where my ears made to hear your hypocrisy?
Where my lips made to speak words of capitulation?

I'm forever hiding in secrecy
the feelings lurking inside of my head.
For if they knew, no-one would let me be
the person I want to be.
If I said that they would accept me, I'd be lying.
