We walked by the sea
yet your curls lost to the waves;
The house we made a home,
is now an opulent grave.
The kisses that made me sigh,
feel empty and vain;
The peace is gone
from the bed we had lain.
My days do not mind,
but the nights have lost their grace;
What use do they have?
if the love is lost from your embrace?
yet your curls lost to the waves;
The house we made a home,
is now an opulent grave.
The kisses that made me sigh,
feel empty and vain;
The peace is gone
from the bed we had lain.
My days do not mind,
but the nights have lost their grace;
What use do they have?
if the love is lost from your embrace?
