Walking by your side,I held your hand
Wondering if  this might be the  final time
The towpath was as dry as desert sand

 

Love’s a mystery  none can understand
Yet all of us can allocate the  blame
Walking by side by side  you kissed my hand

 

My tears are salty as  they reach my tongue
We need water, we need heavy rain
The towpath was as dry as desert sand

 

Where are you,darling, I can’t walk for long
I suffer from my torture  and its shame
Walking by your side, you held my hand

 

I’m sitting in the garden,it feels wrong
Yet who but God themself receives the blame?
Once in  deserts far, Satan  harangued

I wait and wait , the angel never comes
The sadness in the garden leaves me stunned
I walked out by  the stretcher,felt your hand
You smiled at me, oh love that was  so fond
