But Never More Serene

Emma Shapplin


While, far away, he goes
In my secret dream he lies 
Next to me, he comes to me 
Oh painful cross to bear!

Ever since, his going
Haunts me
Wherever my thought goes 
it is he who accompanies me.

Sweet pain 
Burning sweetness
I remain, my sighs turned torwards
The heavens

Ah, if he comes not back to me 
Oh, if he comes not
i will go alone i will go alone... 
But never more serene

While, far away, he goes 
Though speechless, i speak to him 
And the voice of my thoughts 
Fly to him

Sweet pain 
Burning sweetness
I remain, my sighs turned torwards
The heavens

Ah, if he comes not back lo me 
Oh, if he comes not
I will go alone I will go alone...
But never more serene 
Never more...
