Parted
Language: English
Dearest, our day is over -- Ended, the dream divine. You must go back to your life; I must go back to mine. Back to the joyless duties, Back to the fruitless tears. Loving and yet divided All through the empty years. How can I live without you? How can I let you go? I that you loved so well, dear -- You that I worship so, You that I worship so. Dearest, the night is passing. Waneth the trembling moon. Hark! how the wind ariseth. Morn will be here so soon. Tell me again you love me -- Kiss me on lips and brow. Love of my soul, I love you. How can I leave you now? How can I live without you? How can I let you go? I that you loved so well, dear -- You that I worship so, You that I worship so. I that you loved so well, dear -- You that I worship so.
