Could you be but earth and rain?
Fields of wind and barley grain
Sunlit sparkles on the tree
I would not say farewell to thee

Could you be but oranges?
Sweet and filled with promises
Nightingales in harmony
(Like back clouds on Calvary)
I would not say farewell to thee

Take me down softly, take me down
I must take my leave
Of the joys and the sorrow
My love gave to me

Could you be but August moons?
Gathered with my silver spoon
Lyrics sung so easily
(Be they one or twenty-three)
I would not say farewell to thee

Could you love me once again?
Could you but remember when?
The loneliness you touched in me
(Kissed your wishes endlessly)
I would not say farewell to thee
