Eyes like lakes

Your gaze dissolves in fog of expectation, Your gaze across from mine is twin deep lakes I long to look with constant admiration, But blink once by mistake The image breaks Oh, tell me why such things should ever be

One second slow — and fortune runs and hides One glance aside — the world around subsides And you're left standing, silent and alone

I turn to Solitude and say Farewell! I will not tread this path in sad disgrace I shout into the void for someone's hearing, For heavens high and every passerby To break this heavy silence with my voice Oh, tell me why such things should ever be

One second slow — and fortune runs and hides And you're left standing, silent and alone

I've lost your trace, I fail to understand Are you still moving forward, or astray? I fail to grasp, yet keep on standing, waiting I'm waiting, but how empty are these lands! Oh, tell me why such things should ever be
