I sat down to compose A tragic poem Sank myself into the tracks Extinguished the embers of my heart Then suddenly your smile And your tender eyes appeared And melted my soul You let the world glow And light up the empty spaces of the heart Words that before hurt Are now whines and hollow sounds Nothing bothers me anymore Misery flown away For you are with us Why cry for lost tracks and a covered path The white snow will silence our sorrowful sounds Whatever your life encounters Wherever the straws bend Never an ugly end My dear emma will you see For everything that was torn apart Can be mended in time We can work it out
