1. A pause, then reproach
A question and an answer

2. Why is Layla avoiding me today?
Her words are few and terse

3. Do I owe her something?
Or does she owe me?

4. The paths of life stretch before me
Wherever I go, horizons unfold

5. Give me a kiss before I go
For it is time to depart

6. I have nothing left after I
Go, O Layla, come back

7. Your little bird, O Layla
Sings songs of torment
