Since we two parted in silence and tears

And broken hearted to suffer long years.

The love that we knew no longer can be

Now you don't need me, you're setting me free.

CHORUS.

But if I should meet you, after long years

How should I greet you? In silence and tears.

A dew in the morning brought tears to my brow

It fell like a warning to what I feel now.

Your world has been broken, my heart feels the same

Your name has been spoken, and I feel the shame.

CHORUS

In silence we'll meet, and in silences we'll greet

My heart will repair, my spirit release.

I know that I loved you, I loved you too well

I know that I'll miss you, too deeply to tell.

CHORUS
