1. Longing carries me back to you, a child,
And time has robbed me of patience,

2. I rest my hopes upon your chest,
My heart is wretched with yearning.

3. I planted the path with flowers in my life,
But today the years have cheated my hopes.

4. I handed time the reins of my affair,
And I have lived my life complaining in song...

5. Life was safe in your eyes,
Life was lost the day you left me...
