5. Apart

From Songs of Youth (1998)

Missing you, you are here. 
Your voice is in the willowtop.  
	
Soon I will taste your lush embrace
and kiss your sunny cheek again.
How sweet to drink of you 
beyond the span of waiting here!		

Like the sunlight streaming, I will come for you. 
Like the moonlight beaming, I will search for you.
Held in dizzy dreaming, I will run to you
by standing still.

Many waters cannot quench love.
Your voice is in the willowtop that weeps to call me home.
