lyrics

Some night, long ago, I dreamt the Lord was here
And you know, I prayed to him,
I asked him to bring you back to me
If it wasn't too much for to dream.

He said you would write a letter to me,
"But when?", I asked him; "when will this end?"
"Oh soon, by her birthday, or yours, I mean,
Or Christmas, at the latest, my friend".

Your birthday's tomorrow, mine's coming up soon,
And the Lord has never betrayed me, yet,
I cannot complain, it's not yet the time,
So I cry in my heart, ever quiet.

There's so much I would have to say to you,
If ever us two were to meet again;
For now, I cry; "have faith", he says to me,
I'm afraid to even utter your name.

"And how have you been?", I would ask, soft,
"And tell me how life has been treating you, please".
I'd skip my own life, I don't want you to cry,
I would rather you felt at ease.

Your birthday's tomorrow, mine's coming up soon,
And the Lord has never betrayed me, yet,
I cannot complain, it's not yet the time,
So I cry in my heart, ever quiet.

And then, if you wanted to walk away,
I would happily let you fly ...
I know you're not mine; I'd wish, one last time,
To talk ... and then no more crying.

The Lord looks at me, enigmatic, always,
And asks me to trust in him;
But I've lost my faith, it feels far too late,
Perhaps it's too much for to dream.

Your birthday's tomorrow, mine's coming up soon,
And the Lord has never betrayed me, yet,
I cannot complain, it's not yet the time,
So I cry in my heart, ever quiet.

Your birthday's tomorrow, mine's coming up soon,
And the Lord just says "trust in me",
But whether you write is not his decision ...
I cry ... dare I hope? please come back to me.
