I set out on a golden day
To find that secret way
That leads me to your heart
It was destined that I depart
After the cloud had finally past
It was never meant to last.
I saw hills of an Emerald hue
Walked under skies of softest blue
Passed lakes of tender dreams,
Sat a while by dancing streams;
Beneath bird song forest trees
I closed my eyes to feel the breeze;
And love seemed so very real
Something I could almost feel
In the air and in the scent
Of a mystery that is transcendent.
When I drew near to your abode
I recognised the endless road
That leads to your sacred place
And I longed to see your face;
So many centuries had gone
Since I knew you as the only one
Who could take away my fears
Who could dissolve all those years
When I felt so very alienated
But in hope I always waited
For this time to come at last
When I could forget the past
When I could end here in your arms
Safe from the coming storms.
