Longing is a sea without an end An ocean lying between us two In my chest, a tambourine's blend Marking the rhythm of what's due Longing has a name and direction It's your absence that dwells in me A word, a prayer, an affection, Translating love that's boundlessly In the wind, your voice comes to whisper Like a breeze that caresses the face A silence that knows how to murmur Sweet taste mixed with a bitter trace Longing has a name and direction It's your absence that dwells in me A word, a prayer, an affection Translating love that's boundlessly In the wind, your voice comes to whisper Like a breeze that caresses the face A silence that knows how to murmur Sweet taste mixed with a bitter trace Longing has a name and direction It's your absence that dwells in me A word, a prayer, an affection Translating love that's boundlessly Your absence dances in the moonlight A shadow that insists on shining Time tries to keep us out of sight But longing comes to keep us binding Longing has a name and direction It's your absence that dwells in me A word, a prayer, an affection Translating love that's boundlessly Longing, a sky to contemplate Stars guiding my heart's devotion I wait for you where dreams create In the verses of our emotion
