Waiting in Vain

You said, wait there for me

In the place your timeless eyes first reflected mine

Deep in the shade of this crooked old tree

As I walked along your favorite path

Your favorite song plucked the strings of my heart

I passed a plot of your favorite wild flowers

That bloom and are gone in a matter of hours

Here beneath the weeping branches

Of this old willow tree

I can only be what I am

I can only be me

I know that being my lover caused you endless pain

But please don’t leave me standing here

Alone and waiting in vain
