prelude

gone away
the love we knew has all gone away
the world of love we made and lived
is shrouded in dark time.

gone away
the blossom borne has faded and died
and the pain I now know I know
preludes a life of mime.

though we knew
to make us one the fates were strong
this mortal joy
and happiness has been too long
to let them taste
of heaven’s bliss on earth were wrong
and so our love was torn apart

gone away
the love we knew has all gone away
the world of love we made and lived
is shrouded in dark time.

gone down dusky ways my love
is gone from me
away from me my love
is gone from me
away from me my life
is gone from me
and happiness will never more return.
