I don’t know what
She hoped to find
She just went looking
into the starless night
there
in the pitch of the dark ..

In her bag
an apple
a tune
a little bread
a needle and a thread
and all the lies of all the world ..

Every day she walked
But she never talked
She just
cooked
and
ate
and
sang
and
mended
And every night
she walked into the dark
looking for those beating drums ..

Lonesome in a dark sorrow
The secrets of her broken heart
She could not share
She did not dare ..

Once, upon a fleeting time
Your eyes had asked
Did I know the magic word ?
I said i did as much as you
But did you hear me tell you that ?
I was your brother
I was not your lover
So did you hear me tell you that ?

And before I could speak
The truth or the lie
You closed your eyes
You took your sorrow
and
You walked away ..

And the sky remained the same
And the sea remained the same
And the same remains the memory
of your lips and your laughter
But
You had gone ..

And now, when they say
You killed yourself
Verily, by your own hand
I hear you say
You just finished
a job someone else began

Sister of my soul
My shooting star
Was this the way as it must be ?
For them
For us
For you
For me
The awful truth that sets us free ?
But did you hear me tell you that ?
