ENOCH JOHN (30/07/1958 / TRINIDAD and TOBAGO)

Oh! Cover me silvery wind
In thy thick cloak of darkness,
That I might hide far away
From this suffering pain and ache.

Oh! That clouds of smoke and vapour
Would enshroud me round about,
That I could find an escape
On the wings of the night.

Heartache and sorrow pursue after me
Like twin speedy arrows,
To pierce thru my flesh,
And leave me in pain and worry.

One day I will fly far away
To yon far and distant land;
'Tis there my soul will find sweet relief,
And the wings of darkness will fleetly vanish.
