One evening, watching the free birds fly
Over the dark sea, into the dark sky
I thought of her and heaved a sigh
Where was she and where was I?
I turned to walk away from the sea
Neither could I help it, nor could she
For loving is meeting and then going free
She was hollow and so was me
The meeting of souls is a fabled tale
The reality is a heart going pale
In the age of careers, love must fail
Easy it is, to forget the trail
The trail on the paths that we walked
The many lovely hours that we talked
Alas! A career has rendered locked
The door to her heart that I knocked
Its evening again, I walk to the sea
I look at people, they look at me
The birds in the skies still fly free
I'm smiling again and so would be she!
