IDLE

I sit here tonight
idle by the light

stars shine above
and water splashes below

the people sing and dance to a merry tune
all has been forgotten

for good or for bad
I shall not know

it seems as though I myself have been forgotten
he left me behind
another war stirred him up
together we left and together we parted

I miss him now
as never before
shall lights bring him back
back before the dark
