If I never see your face again
Or sunlight come to grace a dawn
Our passion's work would not take flight
Our strivings cease, our glory gone
If I never kiss your lips again
Or talk of love, or dream of youth
I'd walk my empty years alone
With this heart of stone I'd hold for you
They gave me a ticket on a one-way journey
But you offered me a same price return
I've never seen a flower that didn't shed its seed
To rise in spring out of the ground
