Somewhere I have never traveled
Gladly, beyond any experience
Your eyes have their silence
In your most frail gesture are things which enclose me
But which I cannot touch because they are too near
The first time I loved forever
Was when you whispered my name
And I knew at once you loved me
For the mere of who I am
The first time I loved forever
I cast all else aside
And I bid my heart to follow
Be there no more need to hide
And if wishes and dreams
Are merely for children
And if love's a tale for fools
I'll live the dream with you
Or if your wish be to close me
I and my life will shut, very beautifully
Suddenly, as when the heart of this flower
Imagines the snow
Carefully, everywhere descending
For all my life and forever
There's a truth I will always know
When my world divides and shatters
Your love is where I'll go
I do not know what it is about you that closes and opens
Only something in me understands
The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses
Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
