1. Whenever your memory stirs,
My ribs quiver as my sorrow rises anew,

2. After you left, joy has fled,
My eyes reject rest, tossing sleepless in my bed.

3. The breeze carries your scent,
Sickly sweet, racking my wounded heart,

4. When clouds drift by, their lightning’s flare,
Is my anguished sigh, their rain, my tears.
