Hope After Babylon
Distant love is a hidden pain
Caught in the shadows of moonlit rain
I walked away yesterday
And I sing in harmony today
Beyond the blue horizon line
Loyally, in due time
I shall touch the unreachable
And find my star’s cable
We the desolate, keep hanging on
There has always been hope after Babylon
Then we have to let go, to stop the bleed
Allow a next dancer, to take the lead
The honesty in true love is hard to find
The truth of love, is like a gold-mine
I’ve stayed in silence for many years
Eventually my silence grew wings, made of tears
And soared above my fears
True love under the stars
Remains in my memoirs
