hold my hand. close your eyes.

do not despair, my love,
i see sadness in your eyes tonight.
don't fear these dark clouds,
they are friends of ours.
they will lead us through the grief
and take us to the other side,
where only peaceful emptiness lives.

don't despair, my love,
i see sadness in your eyes tonight.
don't be afraid of tears in my eyes,
they are proof that i have much love to give.

i won't despair, my love,
don't see the pain in my eyes.

even the strongest trees
are felled under a determined axe.

and we both know,
i am very strong,
and you are very determined.
