There Is No Other Way

The eye sees, the thought flies

The eye tells, the thought denies

I will prepare for your returning

Is there no other way?

The word falls, the heart cries

The heart knows, the word's disguise

I shall expect you then, at evening

Is there no other way?

The bird sings, the wind sighs

The air stirs, the bird shines

A storm approaches

There must be other ways

The leaf shakes, the wings rise

The song stops, the bird flies

The storm approaches

And we are separating

The song stops, the bird flies

The mind stirs, the heart replies

There is no other way

(I will prepare for your returning)

There is no other way

(I shall expect you then, at evening)

The word stops, the heart dies

The wind counts the lost goodbye

There is no other way

There is no other way
