On the Arrow AFI

He said, “Who truly belongs here?”
“Not I...” — she said, — “I’ll lie here with you!”
He knows: no one shines forever,
They change with the weather...

He said, “I’ve now stayed too long here!”
“Goodbye!” — she said, “I’ll wait here for you!”
He knows, the winds carry sorrow,
As they leave she’ll follow,
They leave tomorrow...

Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart, that beats,
Disguise themselves through him...
He’ll say that it’s nothing new,
And swear this is true:
“For you, I’ll swallow the ocean…”

“I’ll swallow the ocean! …”

He said, “Who truly belongs here?”
“Not I!” — she said, “I’ll lie here to you! ...”
I know, the sorrow is sacred,
And I’ll never break you —
I’ll softly save you! ...

Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart, that beats,
Disguise themselves through him;
He’ll say that it’s nothing new,
And swear this is true:
“For you, I’ll swallow the ocean…
I’ll swallow the ocean…”
