Tears for an Eastern Girl

Touching the sky you were
In my heart's hole

You lie silent
The blue of the tiny sky
The yellow of the tiny stars

Lost you are to me
Though in you I had hoped to lie

Your teeth are mirroring the tiny stars
Smokey, you flood by me

Ripples of jasmine, heavy smoke in your path
Wait for me by the summer stream

Black sky is around you
You pass, dissolve and stutter farewell

Lost you are to me
The ice is some distant bed

Ripples of jasmine, heavy smoke in your path
Wait for me by the summer stream

Lost you are to me
Your tongue hovels on your lips

The stars are very far now
And you are very far now

Ripples of jasmine, heavy smoke in your path
Wait for me by the summer stream

The stars are very far now
And you are very far now
The stars are very far now
You were not real at all
And I had hoped to say:
"The stars are very real"
You were not far at all
I had hoped to say
Over beyond me and you
The sea waves "goodbye"
As it laps in my heart
And you are very far now
And you are very far now (Then I wept I thought of you)
The stars are very far now
The stars are very far now (Then I wept I thought of you)
As if dead

And then I wept I thought of you
And then I wept I thought of you
And then I wept I thought of you
And then I wept I thought of you
And then I wept
