Sing me a song of unspent tenderness!
I heard it secretly yesterday,
How you looked at the sunset with hope
In a sobering stillness,
As his eyes closed tired,
Shortening the distance with another...
This tenderness melted away in prayer,
Healing your waiting.
Sing a song of unspent tenderness!
Dedicate it to meetings unfulfilled.
Whether love is in sin, or sinlessness?
But you haven't seen him for so long.
Share your unspent tenderness!
This is a living sea without edge,
This is a great generosity boundless,
That love still helps.
