A Million Days Away

When the early sun has risen,
The river sand is submerged
The morning sway is tamed
And the wild doves begin to coo
The desire for her is awakened

When the desire is awakened,
The heart is broken
The feelings are cornered
And the smile is hidden
The regent is incapable

When the dreams have bred,
The truth is unveiled
That her face is unknown
A million days it has been away
Like a pin in the hay she was lost
When I remember the journey I rise,

Shake off the rheum from the eyes
Take the walk into the wild
But stuck in the mind is her absence,
And the pinch to have never known her a day
