1944

Listen now to the wind, my darling

Listen now to the sea,

For ever the breath of the wind and the wave

Will carry you love from me.

Far is the distance between, my darling,

Countries the hours apart;

Look for the light of the moon and the stars

And there you will see my heart.

And if you are lonely or sad, my darling,

And mindful of wasted years,

The touch of a leaf will be my hand

And the rain will be my tears.
