1. She said, "You have returned with stealthy affection
Empty your hands of all you grasp

2. You used to give us excuses full of longing
So where is the radiance and where are the hands intertwined?

3. You used to tell us of a tomorrow
That would fly with your memory through the pulse of life

4. So I said, "Don't you realize that we
Live in an age whose wings are vanity and bend?"
