Alone like a watchman at night
I watch you going down the path.
Alone like a traveller in the east
I dont know where the path leads.
Alone you whisper the lament
with your hands wiping the sweat.
Alone your tears roll down
I can feel the warmth of it.
Alone you suffer like a mountain
In the snowy winter night.
Alone you are, never disclosed
like you have been locked or closed.
Alone you raise the flag against the sky
Against its endlessness, emptiness.
Alone against the wind
You sail the ship of fools.
Alone the flame burns inside you
Like the midnight oil, burning
Alone inside the farmer's hut
But it means more than your desires.
Alone you drench in the rain
washing your previous pains
For the coming pains
Alone you run with the burning torch
Pushing the night towards the dawn,
towards the light of the day
Alone You'll lose your grip
But never ask for the price i should pay
Alone you'll be gone, you'll fade
But never let the flames cease to ashes
Alone my valley mourns, the river drives
Looking for you from north to south
Alone in the field the wind whistles
Through the empty canals, a call for you
Alone I love you dearly, Mother
At home I'll see you if you come back..
Alone my toes dig the soil helplessly
At home I'm waiting for you, Mother.
Alone it aches deep beneath me
............fade....................
