AUF WIEDERSEHEN

Take these; these are for you, love
Time has come for us to part
I carried them through those endless sands
All along I’ve had them in my heart

I never slowed down on my way
Walking I’ve been night and day
With you constantly before my eyes
Amid the echo of my lonely cries

Now that we are face to face
Look at me once and do not grieve
Fare me well with one smile
Have my gems and I shall leave
