Agathodaimon - Departure

We part for ever from today 
Farewell beloved one 
And I, unto may death, your way 
Will shun. 

I care not now where you may go 
You can no more bereave me 
Today the sweetest girl I know 
Does leave me. 

[Chorus:]

And the air still moves my curtain 
As it used in times of yore... 
Moonlight down the lane uncertain 
Only you come nevermore 

Nor shall I as in former hours 
Build spanish castles high 
With star-lit windows, and with towers of sky, 
When, shivering with bitter cold 
Through winter nights uncertain 
I watched lest you perhaps unfold 
Your curtain. 

O what delight to stroll with you 
Beneath that flowering trees 
When poured its light their branches through, 
The moon. 

[Repeat Chorus]

That I might catch with rapturous thrill 
The words that you let fall 
And that today I barely still 
Recall. 

How often did I secretly pray 
Swift night her sails would furl 
That we might thus forever stray 
Fair girl. 

[Repeat Chorus]
