Your precious love - that means so much

will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?

Lonely as the moors on a winter's morning

Quiet as the sea on a good calm night

In your tranquil shadow - I try and follow

I hear your distant shoe clicks

To the midnight beat - I feel trapped in sorrow In this imagery

If the sky fell from above
