1. I love you, without pretense or deceit
Despite what we hide...and what we fear

2. I bid you farewell, if only pain was momentary upon parting
To the past that's gone, we forget the pain and sorrow

3. And I leave you, if only for travel... with its sails and mast
After parting, which we wish for healing

4. No longer is there comfort in distance's embrace
By God, what's the use of effort and hardship

5. Of coldness and rejection, your arms suffice me
The river of love did not dry up, its banks overflow

6. Fill your hand with sand, and you'll see this barren land
Cast your eyes, you know what is the distance
