I Pined For You All Night

I pined for you all night Your heart beat on the wind I saw you in my mind Your form took shape within Now I know what it means When the winds of change Blow us far from warmth And hang our souls with chains And you found me ... You told me ... Not to fear They say that it’s not right

To take another’s life

But take my land from me

And you will shortly see

The knife is in my hand

I raise it to your throat

And then I cut you down

Your lover makes no sound

And you found me ...

You told me ...

You are near
