My Lover's Gone

My lovers gone
My lover’s gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn
And as I slept I felt him go returns no more
I will not watch the ocean
My lover’s gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
My lover’s gone
I know that kiss will be my last
No more his song
The tune upon his lips has passed I sing alone
While I watch the ocean
My lover’s gone
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love
Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
(Engel)
