You promised you’d be back
in the spring, my dear
The spring has come and gone,
but you are not here.
Why did you break your pledge?
I will cry and yearn.
Months, years are passing by,
you did not return.
you did not return.
you did not return.
you did not return.
I will wait for you,
you did not return.
you did not return…
You promised to fly in,
like a bird of cheer.
Perhaps, a flock of birds
will tell me you’re near?
How to keep on going
I will have to learn.
The birds have built their nests,
you did not return.
you did not return.
you did not return.
you did not return.
My dear!
I will wait for you,
you did not return.
you did not return…
