From the CD of Private Parts & Pieces]



Now that you don't know me

Is it gone, forever past?

Now my rock has crumbled

In the stormy winter blast

Now the world is darkening

As I watch the farewell train

Though once she spoke within me

Strange, may never see you again...



Now the wind is asking

How a rock so firm can fall

Then the breeze, hear murmurs

She rose not, so saved his call

Now the leaves are rustling

Do I hear them speak her name?

That waits round every corner

Strange, may never see you again...



Little girl, lilty lilac

Autumn queen by this quiet brook

Once she lay breathing softly

Now I watch the ashes burn

A stranger who may not return

Rose with the dawn, say you'll long at morning time

Take this shining moment

Treasure it through joy and sorrow

When you hold, untie and unroll it

Open it, a voice will sigh, a memory that went drifting by

Upon the tide that swept you from my side



Now the bells are calling

I must tread the homeward track

Leave all whispering ripples

For the next part I must die

Who I gave the whole world

She remembers not my name

That star beneath the bright lights

Strange, may never see you again...



Strange, may never see you again...

Again
