She goes away to a foreign land 
The only thing that makes us close 
Is her being near an airport 
How simple, how easy the wind blows 
One day she's dancing with another man 
And the wave of confusion envelops the sand 
Of the love that was focused, now aborts 
Or at least it seems out of sorts 

I could, I would try to allay 
This confusion, this tempest in her soul 
It's hard to be, when you can't stay 
It's hard to go, where you don't know 
Where is she, why does she run 
From what's here, I'm stunned 

I think someone once said 
Love is like a rose and its thorns 
This must be why I'm bleeding 
From picking up the rose 
Yet the love still grows 
You don't have to let me go 
  

I hear your tears 
As they fall in my hands 
Making a sound of the cheer 
This love can be grand 
I wish to bring it to your eyes 
Do you hear my cries 
Never say good bye 
Before you've said hello
