For Jap & JL
I long for the golden sun on this winter day
I pause walking by the seaside, the tide is high
the humming birds from the nearby trees I can’t find
And in my heart there sits a quiet pain
How I wish you’re here, smoothing the ache away
holding me close and wiping my tears dry
I’m standing here alone as the waves whine
waiting for the bright sun to shine again
for the birds to sing once more in a lonely tree
and warm the freezing wind around me…
