I do get a silent expectation that after tears and pain,
your sincere love does come to me in its fullness,
everything that stand between us do disappear,
new hope appears with every new morning
and in a deadly time God does turn our days around.
I do get a silent expectation that after tears and pain
the intensity of our love gets focussed
and your humanity does constantly leave me speechless,
everything that stands between us does disappear.
Like a child you wait upon the hotter sunshine,
while you do hope on your seedlings to flower in spring.
I do get a silent expectation that after tears and pain
and a lock-down for you and me comes very close company.
but like flue a terrible thing is disguised,
everything that stands between us does disappear.
You are in every part of my consciousness
(but particles in the air kill other people.)
I do get a silent expectation that after tears and pain,
everything that stands between us does disappear.
