My darling

**[Intro]** [Music loss] **[Verse 1]** My darling, My irretrievable love… You’re sailing away from me. Above the ship in the distant harbor Crows are circling… **[Pre-Chorus]** Wait! Stay with me… Just a little longer… For a moment, a day, a year, forever! You’re the only one for me. **[Chorus]** My darling, my irretrievable love… Stay with me…. Stay with me….. Don’t go! [Music loss] **[Verse 2]** In the ghostly fog, all shapes Are fading into nothingness. They dissolve, inexorably: The last breath and trembling hands, And the summer day, And the winter noon, And the child’s sled in the corner, And the first step, full of wonder, And the realization — “I am alive!” **[Pre-Chorus]** All of this, Slowly and gently, Drifts away on the ship… And melts into the mist… And reflects in the water… [Music loss] **[Chorus]** Wait for me, my dear! Beyond the line… Beyond the line… My love… My irretrievable one… **[Bridge]** [Music loss] Crows circle over the harbor, The fog has swallowed the ships… A final whisper of despair: “Don’t go… Wait…” **[Chorus]** My darling, my irretrievable love… Stay with me…. Stay with me….. Don’t go! **[Outro]** [Fading vocals, echo of the last words, instruments gradually fade out] Don’t go… Beyond the line… My love.....
