'Come walk with me, come talk with me'
is what you said to me
When, way back, once upon a time
you stilled my urge to flee

I'd been alone through many years
watched seasons rolling by
Encased my heart in sheets of ice
Once bitten and twice shy

I'd reinforced this heart of mine
to see in love but pain
You thawed my heart and made me want
to trust in love again

I took a leap of faith with you
I left my native land
I reached towards an outstretched hand
A strange, yet well-known man

You caught me, held me, loved me sweet
that sunny autumn morn
Then held me gently through my sleep
I felt as if reborn

But things were catching up with you
The call of home held sway
You told me then you'd thought again
you would no longer stray

You chose to walk that well-trod path
and leave me standing there
'I'll miss you' were your parting words
My dreams were but of air

Now all I have is memories
is longing, tears and pain
Believe me, love, I wish you luck
- wish I dared love again
